Ouch. BTW, Houston is the most ethnically diverse major city in the US - male African-American mayor, female Latina immigrant County Judge and male Latino immigrant Sheriff.

Until 1965 the Atlanta baseball team (minor league at the time) was known as the Crackers.

Yeah, it took a bad rap from that Seinfeld episode ("you bastards!!"), but it is super diverse and quite nice.
 
Of course there is a disaffected poor set of white folks; what's strange is just how many of them can be rabble-roused into supporting a fascist who invents fake scapegoats for them to be angry at. This happens all the time in history. They should be supporting socialist causes like affordable healthcare, a living wage, grants for education, but the right-wing has somehow convinced them that socialism is a bad word and that the real enemy is dark-skinned immigrants from the south, Antifa, and "Marxist" college professors/students.

Their disaffection is real and needs to be taken seriously. But so is their damaging support of policies and politicians that continue to promote inequality.
 
For me, it's an adapted connotation. It no longer retains any negative connotation with the term, as the team name is a thing of pride. It's not ridiculing Native Americans with it. Same as Atlanta Braves, Cleveland Indians and so on. It's cultural appropriation but a largely positive one.

That said, I understand the reason people want to change it, and it's not as lunatic an endeavour as other things going on right now - but I just don't see what on earth it actually does for anyone. They change their name tomorrow and the world turns, as it ever was. Therefore what's the point.
The native Americans who are offended by it won’t be offended by it any more. And a lot of redskins fans won’t be embarrassed by it.
