As a Redskins fan, I'd have much less of a problem if all the leagues united to remove the Native American names and logos. I still want to know if the majority of Native Americans are against all these names though. My feeling has always been that it is a vocal minority, but I could be wrong. It seems like that community is very fractured, so I am not convinced that all the leaders claiming to be speaking for the population really represent that population. Also, to the above comment about naming it after a tribe, it seems that there are some fractions that are in favour of such names, and some against. ie the Seminoles seem to have the local Seminoles supporting the name, but other groups against it.
