President Obama Put Forward His Opinion
President Obama Put Forward His Opinion

Battle lines were drawn Monday over the name of Washington's beloved American football team, after President Barack Obama indicated he'd favor something less racially charged than the Redskins".

.It's a dictionary-defined offensive term,"said Ray Halbritter,a prominent leader of the Oneida Indian Nation,at a symposium in Washington in the same hotel where NFL owners will be meeting this week".

.Washington's team name is a painful epitaph that was used against my people,Indian people, when we were held at gunpoint and thrown off our lands,"Halbritter said.Dan Snyder,the marketing mogul who bought the Redskins in 1999,has insisted that he will never change the name".We at the Redskins respect everyone,"said the attorney, Lanny Davis,in a statement".But like devoted fans of the Atlanta Braves,the Cleveland Indians and the Chicago Blackhawks (from President Obama's hometown), we love our team and its name and, like those fans,we do not intend to disparage or disrespect a racial or ethnic group".Davis recalled a national survey in April this year in which,he said, eight out of 10 Americans didn't think the Washington Redskins name ought to be changed.He stressed, however, that a name change was ultimately a decision for Snyder to make.The topic of Redskins name change has lasted for a long time.It's really a big controversial issue that even the president Obama put forward his opinion by saying "I'd think about changing" the name if he was the Redskins' owner.However only the owner of the Redskins has the power to change the name.And he has announced that never change the name forever.In his eyes, the name has lasted for 80 years and it does not show any disrespect to anyone.After reading a lot about the latest news of the NFL,you can get a latest jersey for yourself or another fan.
