The term "Redskin" is in fact a racial slur...no doubt about. My thought about it is that most people don't even think about what it means. Most people just think about it as the name of their football team and that is it. I don't think any harm is meant by the term by today's fans.

But upon reflection, the term is offensive to Native Americans and for that reason I think that it should be changed.
