Have heard some interesting dialogue on this recently after Goodell defended the name. I will admit that I thought 100% they should change it until I heard a Native American's email to Dan Barreiro (a radio program up here). Basically he compared it to "Yankees" which was once a derogatory term used by the British against American soldiers back in the Revolutionary War days and now isn't considered demeaning at all. I will also mention there were just as many or more emails, calls, etc. from Native Americans wanting the name gone. Where do we stand?
(Note: If this is too political, remove. There has been several threads that have evolved into political discussion lately so I thought this would fly. Plus it is NFL-related.
