Re: Redskins Win In Appeals Court

First off, I am a die hard Skins fan. Because I am not Native American, I can not comment as to whether or not the name "Redskins" is offensive. However I can see how the term "red skins", if seen similar to it's usage on old westerns, could be viewed as derogatory. I also can understand Snyder unwillingness to change his branding as a business decision. If I was forced to make a decision, I would probably rule against ALL sports/business franchises' being able to use racial/ethnic caricatures or symbols. I liken it to having teams named the "San Francisco Spooks" or the "Pittsburgh Pale Faces". I think these names would never be tolerated. Who are we to judge another nationality on how they feel towards their likeness or culture being used?
