So do I agree or disagree with the redskins changing their name? No I don't agree because they have had that name for over many years. Whats the point to change it now when it has had such a long history of titles and championships. Its not really that racist either because you're not saying it to them its just a name for a football team. The people need to get over themselves and watch some good old redskins football.
