"Have the people spoken?" By: Rick Reilly
The Washington Redskins name will most likely be changed because it "offends" Native Americans, even though 90% of Native Americans say it doesn't bother them and most of the 90% actually like the name. Schools around the country with the same name wear it on their shirts with praise. The people dealing with this issue are white Americans, and even though most Native Americans do not care about the name, they feel it should be changed. They feel obligated to protect them by putting up walls on the outside, like a Native American reservation.
