“This accomplished and esteemed coach knows there are big issues to be addressed in America today; there’s no intent to offend by referring to a team by the name they’ve proudly worn since day one,” Palin said, calling the issue a made up controversy by the liberal media.

“The government’s intent to force any owner of anything, in this case an NFL entity, to change a name is the antithesis of the American way of working through differences,”

Agree 100% with both.

I'm not offended, not even when someone asks me " Dots" or 'feathers", or better yet, " what Kind", like I'm a flavor or something.
I am sure some are offended, but truth be told, the last person I need looking out for me is some screwed up Libtard who has to make every little thing a issue.
Maybe I should be offended, dammmm libtards want to get rid of everything Native.
Go Redskins!

We've had season tix since the 60's and never, never, never, never, have we even tabled the thought that the name Redskins was anything but about winning and playing with honor, good seasons and not so good seasons. Braves on the warpath. Here is the history and lyrics from WIKI they are correct. The swamp 'em reference is that DC was a swamp and still kinda is a swamp.

In 1937, Marshall moved the Redskins from Boston to Washington. With this move and the introduction of his team to the nation's capital, Marshall commissioned a 110 member band to provide the new fans with the "pomp and circumstance" and "pageantry" of a public victory parade. Marshall stated that he wanted his team and their games to emulate the spectacle of the Roman Gladiators at the Coliseum. He also wanted to incorporate elements of the college football experience into the pro game. He oufitted the band with $25,000 worth of uniforms and instruments and asked the band leader, Barnee Breeskin, to compose a fight song worthy of such a team of gladiators and warriors.

The original lyrics were written to reflect the native American warrior imagery of the team as the Redskins. The lyrics were later reworked to be less offensive to contemporary sensibilities. Nonetheless, the fight song is one of the oldest football fight songs in all of American professional football.

Hail to the Redskins is the second oldest fight song for a professional American football team; the oldest fight song is "Go! You Packers! Go!", composed in 1931. During the 1938 season the Redskins played their new fight song for fans in attendance at the games as they played the Philadelphia Eagles, the Brooklyn Dodgers, the Cleveland Rams, the New York Giants, the Detroit Lions, and the Chicago Bears football teams.

In 1974, Washington, D.C. singer Beryl Middleton recorded "Hail to the Redskins", purportedly backed up by members of the Redskins Singers. Barnee Breeskin declared this the finest recording of his song.[2]

The most widely recognized recording, which as of 2013 is still in use at Redskins home games, features the Redskin Show Orchestra and the Redskins Singers. The music was arranged and conducted by the orchestra's longtime leader Sam "Sammy" Schreiber, the Redskins Singers were directed by Don Cichty and William "Billy" Ball and it was recorded at JRB Sound Studios in Washington DC.

Lyrics: (sung this one every time we scored since forever)
Hail to the Redskins!
Hail Victory!
Braves on the Warpath!
Fight for old D.C.!
Run or pass and score -- we want a lot more!
Beat 'em, Swamp 'em,
Touchdown! -- Let the points soar!
Fight on, fight on 'Til you have won
Sons of Wash-ing-ton. Rah!, Rah!, Rah!
Hail to the Redskins!
Hail Victory!
Braves on the Warpath!
Fight for old D.C.!
