I live in Northern Arizona and have quite a few Navajo and Hopi friends. In my experience, the Native Americans I know, don't give two fucks about the Redskins name, but I think it is more what they choose to get upset about, rather than they don't find it insulting. I can say personally, as a white guy, I agree it's embarrassing that we don't recognize the name for what it is, a slur. I don't think all teams named after Native Americans are degrading or a problem. But, "redskin" is absolutely a slur, just replace red with black, brown, yellow or white and tell me its not. Now bring out the "where will it end" crowd.

Warriors or Chiefs? That's good. It's a strong and proud term. Like Vikings

Yes there was a time redskin was meant as a strong warrior, but now it certainly doesn't
