I haven't kept up on the finer points of this issue. Is it 100% based on the name "Redskins" being offensive? Or does it also delve into the use of a Native American mascot entirely? I thought the Atlanta Braves had some controversy several years ago, but we're not hearing about that anymore. Between Atlanta, Cleveland Indians, Florida State Seminoles, etc. Those are all now ok?
If so, they could change the name to "Warriors" (Washington Warriors even sounds decent) and leave much else unchanged. If it's bigger than that, I don't really think it's fair to single Washington out unless those other teams lose their trademark too.
