As long as the Washington D.C. football team is called Redskins, there will always be controversy surrounding it. The latest controversy involves the Obama administration trying to block the Redskins from building a stadium in D.C. unless they change the name.
Redskins owner Daniel Snyder is exploring building a stadium on the site where RFK Stadium sits but some politicians want the teams’ name changed to something more politically correct before approving it.
I don’t agree with this. Some people find the Redskins name offensive and I can accept that. But why is it that we assume that nothing in this world is supposed to offend us?
