Are you offended by the Redskins team name, or is it overblown by the media?

you state that as fact, but a word or term can often times mean many things. Why dont you google what Oklahoma means? There are many points of view and facts, often in disagreement with one another. No one view point can be labeled as the singular meaning. I find your statement misleading.

Everyone has differing scales on what is offensive to them. Shouldnt the fights be waged for causes that are more universally accepted by the party in question? Doesnt the effort seem misaligned or at least misprioritized? If we are truly fighting for one group of people, shoudlnt we be fighting their top priority and NOT what we think is their top priority?

What about the other meanings? It seems like you are just cherry picking and not recognizing that there are multiple usages for a term, especially some powerful claims that 'Redskin' first documented usage was by native chiefs describing their people.

you can care about many things, but putting all of your effort into something that is not a priority for the supposed benefactor seems arrogant.
