The capital of our great, inclusive country is home to a professional team with a racially offensive name. Yes, American Indian culture is vital to us as Americans understanding our country, but the Redskins moniker is obsolete and insulting. While I believe local governments, boards of directors, and citizens should have the privilege to vote on a school or university's team name and symbols, the situation is different for a professional organization like the NFL where marketing is more extensive and, frankly, owners should know better. It is time to change the name of the Washington Redskins NFL franchise to the 'Washington Warriors;' as a concession to free enterprise, the team and its owners should be allowed to keep the team's logo (somewhat respectful), fonts, and color scheme.
