Its a slippery slope for the sponsors. Yes, they want to be politically correct. However, the bottom line is money. Which group holds the bigger threat to the sponsors bottom line? A small group of people, although a growing group, who find the name offensive? Or the large group of people who will boycott your product if you try to force the name change of thier beloved NFL team?
