If it is ever in their financial interest to do so I think they would but I don't see that happening.

Another post from MM well written and argued as usual.
However, from my distance I reckon the conclusion is wrong.

Firstly, where are all the native Americans (sorry if that description is offensive, can never be sure) who claim to be offended by the name? All I have heard is one WASPY politician, apart from a few NAs who are ok with the name.
Second, when the name was chosen it must have had some connotation of energy, skill, effort or such like. No one would have chosen a name that was denigrating to their team.
Well I could be wrong, suppose it was at one time a term of insult. Later events of especially tens of thousands of fans cheering to that word would have reversed that meaning.

Captain Kirk was definitely more interested in pink than in green.

Um, love what you wrote for the most part, Rich except the part about that the team will eventually change the name. The Redskins will NEVER change their name. It’s back to court with this one.

Water Based Product Acquisition Engineers. +1 for truth and cleverness.

Sorry didn't mean to offend any SMU or Billings fans.

Why are you so willing to completely discount the opinions of the Indians featured in the video? It's hard to follow your blog entry. You mentioned the Pittsburgh Pirates. If some Somali Pirates complain that they prefer to be called "Water Based Product Aquisition Engineers" should they be forced to change their name. People have to stop pretending to be offended. This is another free market issue. If enough people are legitimately offended they will stop buying jerseys and other promotional items. The team will lose money and eventually change the name. If that doesn't happen then leave them alone.

Anyone know any racist who uses the nickname of a race they despise to name their pride and joy?
This entire issue is mustang droppings suitable for Dark Center congress critters. (Without apologies for my obviously racist use of the word Dark.)

huh. I see your c**t and n*****r analogy was too low brow for your own blog...
