This may or may not be the appropriate forum for this, but I will leave it to the moderators to put this in the proper place.

The Indianapolis Star is reporting on yet another name controversy.

Yes TexSkin - I edited the link - this new forum takes a little getting used to on my part - sorry!

For the record - I think there are valid issues raised by the Native American community; however I have NEVER heard, seen or even remotely become aware of any action by the Washington Redskins organization, past and present, to intentionally create any type of racial discrimination or slur.
I had the privilege and honor of serving with some of the finest soldiers in Vietnam who were Native American - proud of their heritage, proud of their country and proud to be soldiers and now veterans! And many were fans of the NFL !
