It's odd Obama just didn't take over the team and call them anything he wanted.
Let it play out

"Words become offensive when we choose to be offended by them. When should we be offended? That's a tough question. "The answer, of course, lies in the context," the late Hugh Rawson wrote in his lovely lexicon, "Wicked Words." "The meanings of words change according to who says them, to whom, and in what circumstances." Rawson chronicled many words that were uncontroversial in Chaucer and Shakespeare but are considered repellent today.
Ultimately, of course, this isn't a fight about words but about cultural politics and the imperative to scrub society of all offensive language (or, often, merely language that offends liberals). That fight will never end, and not just because some people always need to be offended by something. It will never end because words themselves will never cooperate."

" In the only recent poll to ask native people about the subject, 90 percent of respondents did not consider the term offensive, although many question the cultural credentials of the respondents."

She looks more Native American than she does Indian.
And so nobody accuses me of being racist, I like Indians. Like this one:
But only her. None of the ugly drunk ones. I don't like them.
no tats
She can wear facepaint. Fuck it. I like her redskin sister too (and so does APAG):
Undoubtedly an illegal stealing another Native American's job.

Government is out of control and needs to be removed. I'm sure if it was a logo of two gays buttfucking with an equality sign instead of a Redskin they would have everyone including the ACLU scrambling to protect it.
