N/S PTO rules that "Redskins" is derogatory (not a case about the NFL team but likely precedent)

Just curious, would you guys (that support the removal of the Redskins name) support changing the team name & symbol of the New Orleans NFL team if someone was able to get 500-1000 signatures to change it, based on offense taken due to its religious connotations?<O:p</O:p

I know I'm wasting my time here....but really? Terrible comparison. A saint is not a derogatory name, insult, or racial slur. How is this that hard to understand? If it was the New Orleans Crackers or Coon ***** then yeah, you may have a point but you don't.

Living in Arizona for a few years I can say that whenever I heard the word redskin used towards a Native American it was decidedly not a term of endearment. You can try to jump through hoops to say it's historical or meant in a positive manner but that isn't reality.
