I think if those traditions are minimized, the team name could still remain in 20 years.

So who's family gave her the 'intel' on this gem? [Reply]

We need to ignore this shit and not give them the satisfaction.
I was driving through northeast Arizona last weekend and happened to drive past a high school right in the middle of Navajo country with a giant "Redskins" on the football field. Dug around, and apparently I'm not missing anything. That really is their mascot.
