Redskins was pushing the "tolerance" of SJW political correctness; now this is just the final nail in the coffin.

Then watch when those same groups complain about "lack of representation."

Funny enough, “Washington Football Team” sounds like something the New Age NFL owners would do after unironically playing a game of Madden 21

Chief Wahoo was a lot more of a caricature than, say, The Atlanta Brave

"Redskin" was pushing it, but Indian seems like a pretty neutral term to me.

Native American simply makes the context clearer, but I don't think anyone should see "Indian" as an offensive term, dated maybe, but not offensive.
We used to use it until recently. When I was in school, we called the program to help native kids who needed help the Indian Education Program. Although I never used it except for when I needed a pencil or something, I was required to take a special test to show how much they helped us.

Once again like the Redskins, the actual Natives have no problem with the name and it's actually carefully manufactured Hwhite Guilt (tm).

They're probably cancel the New York Knicks too because it almost sounds like a word that describes 80% of the NBA.
yeah iirc "knickerbocker" was one of those "it's a slur when we're away, but a term of endearment at home" as "yankee" is

It started out as a slur by the English basically making fun of the Dutch settlers because they wore stupid looking pants. But this stigma had largely gone away by the 1800s.
