The best take on this discussion has always been when Steven Colbert had a group of redskins fans come in and explain why the name was no problem -- to a group of native Americans. I don't recall the native Americans being offended as much as gobsmacked at the audacity of the "explanations".
Lets just assume for a moment though that that # is correct. Let's pretend that 90% of all native americans dont care about the name at all.

Why is it a problem still?
