The concern for me would be that we're just going to start seeing teams remove themselves from anything associating with Native Americans to avoid the headache now and in the future and Native Americans will have very little representation at all.

The other thing to me is I rarely hear anyone championing the causes for Native Americans that will actually impact their lives. You have unemployment, drug addiction, education issues, and a myriad of other problems plaguing Native American communities and granted I know you can chew bubble gum and walk at the same time so you can want the name changed and still champion causes for Native Americans but all mainly hear is how racist the name is and it should be changed.

To me it's like walking up to a starving homeless person and telling him "Good news. We got everyone to stop calling you a hobo since it's offensive." and than walking away.

Whilst I completely agree that Native Americans need help with their problems, I am not sure how having a billionaire owning a team of professional footballers, and calling them by a relatively derogatory name, is actually helping them.

I guarantee that we aren't as irritated by that as we are by "woke" people pretending that we are as thin-skinned as everyone else and need to be protected by those white knights of virtue.

How many people are you speaking on behalf of?

All of the ones I've talked to. That would include a large number of my family, our neighbors, and a good portion of the Mescalero reservation. How about you?

The twist is the name will stay the same, but the subject will change.

• It allows them to keep the color scheme
• It has ties to the area (Red Wolves used to live in the area that is now DC)
• They'd be the only canine themed NFL team (seriously, how are there no canine themed teams)
• Wolves are awesome animals
• The Red Wolf is endangered, so it could potentially bring awareness to that

Red Wolves works on so many levels

• It allows them to keep the color scheme
• It has ties to the area (Red Wolves used to live in the area that is now DC)
• They'd be the only canine themed NFL team (seriously, how are there no canine themed teams)
• Wolves are awesome animals

Red Wolves was the name of a US Navy helicopter squadron stationed at Norfolk Air Station, which is three hours south of DC.

It just works.
