Because they didn't think they could (without repercussions). Like the entertainment industry, the sports industry is dominated almost entirely by powerful rich white MEN. There is the fear of, not only losing your job, but not being able to find another job of being blacklisted.

I get what u are saying on the matter but It's still a ? on the whole story, also some cheerleaders from the squad that yr have tweeted denying any harm doing to them. It just seems like the redskins are an easy target due to the name and they are doing everything they can to force the issue enough to change it. Also as far as rich white men, yes owners are mostly white but players are mostly NON White. Those athletes are really rich too so its not like they are just out there playing for dirt cheap.
