I see your point, but there is inconsistency in your rebuttals "the Reds" fits in the list of what you said is derogatory yet it isn't. What about "the blues?" Definitely refers to a certain race, but no one is offended by the term. I think the real solution is how about we start thinking "the Redskins" is not derogatory, guess what happens? It is no longer derogatory. Lets rein in the political correctness and stop trying to find offense in everything.

My wife is part Apache and takes absolutely no offense to the name. As soon as you start calling something "politically incorrect" and offensive, the more it will be. The team itself has never once condoned racism and, like all other teams, strives to be Super Bowl Champions. If they were I don't think there would be as big a fuss...but that's just my opinion.
