    I don't know what is so difficult for people to realize that different people have different opinions. Different opinions do not have to be that one is right and the other is wrong, just different. In this case, some do and some don't support the use of the name, Redskins. So what? If you don't like it, don't follow the Redskins. When we get into the process of going after sponsors, what we have done is silence speech. Who is to say what is "offensive" and what is not? To me, it is far more offensive to go after sponsors and declare boycotts than it is to use or not use any particular word.


    Oh, and Phil Simms - your team from NY disparages short people. You should be ashamed.

    Money is the only way to get things to change and that's the only way Snyder will ever change the name.

    As a football fan, I love the name but when you think about it, it really is offensive to Native Americans. Just because you guys don't attach the same derogatory meaning to it as the N word, doesn't mean that's not how NA feel about it.

    Even know I like it as a football name, I'd vote for it to be changed.
