Their admissions parallel a recent Associated Press/GfK poll that shows nearly 80 percent of all Americans are not offended by the name.
And the other 20 percent appear to be out of luck after team owner Daniel Snyder emphatically stated the name would not ever change.
Robert Green, Chief of the Patawomeck Tribe tells the Richmond Times-Dispatch the name isn’t an issue for the vast majority of members of his tribe.

If non-natives had stolen all your land, why would you care about a team name?
I thought it was all a joke in the first place anyway
These are petty issues. Yes, the Native Americans, Indians, have been treated poorly by the immigrant Americans. This is something that we, the current population, can not apologize for; we can work to make things better. This is the same as the current population apologizing for slavery. Slavery happened in the past and there is nothing we can do to change that; again all we can do is work to make things better. This goes for ALL sides of these spectrums.
the current population shouldn't have to apologize anyway just like was slavery it's in the past we didn't do it who cares move on
11:13 Add to that... their OWN people sold them. Slavery was created by their own race, in essence.
everything anymore seems to be an assault on white people.The new movie #42 for example:At least 2 hours of hearing how bad white people treated Jackie Robinson until his eventual acceptance.I am white,and I never mistreated anyone in my life.Therefore I'm tired of apologizing for the bad treatment of Indians and blacks,because their abusers are long gone.
