1. After the past week or two, it's really hard to say. Probably sooner than I thought!

[ileus]

2. Go Skins....

Hopefully RGIII will have a good season. All their updates seem positive so far and I'm hoping for a great year...

[yuiyoshida]

4. Yes but did you answer the poll?

I am sure there are lots of fans here, but come on, be honest.

[ileus]

6. Yeah the don't care...since there wasn't a hopefully never selection.

[yuiyoshida]

7. So you are good with an offensive name?

That's interesting...

[ileus]

9. Hey I'm a yankees fan also....how offensive can a name get?

[yuiyoshida]

11. Yankees while used by the

British during the Revolutionary war, was some what offensive, while Redskins.. is very offensive...It be like, to me, someone naming a football team, "THE NASTY CHINKS, or SLANT EYED JAPS"...IT would offend me. This is no different.

13. My Grandfather was born on the reservation in Tahlequah OK and I'm not offended...

It's not a requirement.

[yuiyoshida]

15. Yes but I am sure there are many

of other tribes who just hate this. I have a friend who is full Lakota, and he hates it with a passion. To each their own, I guess.

3. To the Los Angeles Redskins?

[yuiyoshida]

5. Well I hope the

Raiders stay in Oakland..they are my team!

[Logical]

8. Raiders fans are the worst! Mean, belligerent! Nt

[yuiyoshida]

10. I think its likely they are hungry and

You know how mean ya can get when your team is hungry...the last few years have been a disaster...I would hope they can build a decent team and start winning..

12. they should keep their name

But change their logo.

[yuiyoshida]

14. That might even work...

But the Russet Potatoes will have a fit!

[SwankyXomb]

16. They will never change their name

as long as Dan Snyder controls the team.

[Warpy]

17. They'll change when they want a new, bigger, fancier stadium with more sky boxes

and the area won't accommodate them. Then they'll be up for sale to an area that will build them a bigger, fancier stadium with more sky boxes.

At that point, there is likely to be a name change. Not before.

18. It'll change only when

it starts to hit the owner's pocketbook, and either enough fans boycott them or when enough businesses stop supporting them.

[Kalidurga]

21. That's what I would have chosen as an option if it was in the poll.

They will change the name of the team if and only if it hits them in the pocket book to keep it.

[Gman]

19. From friends I've talked to

In NM, AZ and CO, this is not a big hot button issue in the Native American community.

The attitude really appears to be one of, so what?

[Warpy]

20. Trust me, they have far bigger problems.
