Shouldn't the fact that I am also offended count for anything? Yes, the people for whom the offense is personal have a right to ask for names like this to be changed. But they aren't the only ones. I should also be able to say I find it offensive and have that matter. This "small minority" of native Americans who are offended shouldn't be the only ones who get to count. The rest may have other issues to contend with that are higher priority, like staying alive in a dying culture on dead land with poor education, poor leadership and poor health and healthcare. I would contend that the people with the luxury of time, health and wealth to care about this issue can and should count for the vast number of people who just simply don't have it in em. If there is a vast silent majority that rocks on the fact that the football team representing our nation's capital has an AWESOME name, then the small minority in that set who has the time and ability should speak up. Crickets? Hmmmmm.
