By: Ron Robey It's a proven fact that 90% of Native Americans are not offended by the NFL team named the Washington Redskins. I would imagine that 10% of Native Americans are also offended by the label "Native Americans." In addition, you could further make an argument that 35% would rather be referred to as one of the 566 Native American Tribes legally recognized (http://en.wikipedia.org/ I would have to say that the Dallas Cowboys and their owner Jerry Jones are behind this name change distraction. With the Redskins recent acquisition of DeSean Jackson and successfully securing their key returning veterans, the Cowboys are in que for another 8 and 8 season. Maybe if they could get this "Washington Redskins (http://www.redskins.com/ "STOP TAKING AWAY MY RIGHTS, FREEDOM AND HERITAGE BECAUSE OF A FEW OFFENDED PEOPLE" Why can my daughters no longer say "One Nation under God" when they're reciting the Pledge of Allegiance at school? Why are you politically incorrect when you say "Merry Christmas" to someone? Clearly a majority of people believe that Jesus Christ (the Son of God) was sent to earth to die for our sins. How long before our slowly declining United States of America currency has "In God we Trust" removed from it because of offended people? My Family Heritage is as important as my ancestors even though I apparently "Do Not" have the right to be offended being a Hetero-sexual Caucasian Male. The Washington Redskins have been apart of my family for generations and I'm offended that you're offended enough to rob my heritage. -Not a sermon, just a thought. - Ron Robey End
