On March 1, 2001, The Baltimore Sun reported
on Richard Regan, a member of the Maryland Commission on Indian
Affairs, is "calling for the Washington Redskins to change
the team's name and logo. 'To American Indians, it is almost what the 'n-word' is to
African-Americans,' Regan said." Many, including Native
Americans, disagree that the name is offensive.
Redskins executives do not seem inclined to change the name.
