And if you told me that for generations you'd been rooting for a team called the porch monkeys and the suggestion that the name should be changed offends you, I'd laugh and think you were joking. If this affected black people, people would care and change would occurr. But just as America has for centuries, we're continuing to shite on Native Americans and then claim it's okay because we let them operate gambling facilities on a fraction of the land that used to be theirs.

Except that's not what this is. Has anyone actually heard a Native American be called a "redskin" with the intent to demean them? At the worst, it's an outdated slur that has taken on new meaning as the name of a football team.
