FedEx asks Redskins to change name
Here we go. I think part of the reason we’ve been safe from this kind of stuff is because the Redskins have always been a bigger target. Now that there’s pressure from sponsors Snyder is going to feel the heat like never before. If they go down, make no mistake, the mob will come for us next. |

But I am sure they are satisfied that the Woke crowd’s attention when it comes to Native American issues is almost entirely focused on the Redskins nickname, Tomahawk Chop, etc. |

This actually made me curious to know what data exists about the perceptions of the offensiveness of the name. So for what it's worth, Berkeley did a survey this year, and they found that, among all of those who self-identified as Native American, 49% "strongly agreed" or "agreed" (7-point scale) that the Redskins name is offensive, and the percentage is 67% among those who were heavily-engaged in their tribal cultures.
https://news.berkeley.edu/2020/02/04...ascots-survey/ So it seems it's definitely not unanimous, but it's also not a tiny portion who find it offensive. |

Far more than the percentage that find kneeling during the anthem offensive.

At least Braves and Chiefs can make arguments. There's no argument for Redskins other than tradition.
