My high school mascot was the Redskins and since I left they've renamed Red Storm. I'm not sure what year they did it. Red Storm sounds weird to me but I guess it's a good change.

Yes. If its offensive to people they should change it. Reason #2- this gets brought up all.the.time. I feel like this has been an issue since I was a kid. Just freaking change it already! They changed the Bullets to the Wizards way back when. Just change it so we can move on!
yes. i think they should just go by "Skins". it really bothers me that their team name is so offensive to so many people.
This. Look, this term is derogatory. Perhaps to some people it is the same as the "n" word. No one would find a team named the "n" word to be acceptable right? Even if the team had been named that forever.

For those that say no. Can you please explain why it is acceptable to have a slur as a team name? And before you say it is not a slur - It is on the official wiki list of ethnic slurs (and we know wiki is king)
