How so? I wouldn't be so quick to discount the possibility. 

But here's the thing, the use of those names (although Redskins is a little dicey) is a connotation of bravery, fierceness and perseverance. Add that to the fact that there are many Native Americans who don't take offense to use of the names. 

If these teams really want to keep their names then they should follow FSU's lead and coordinate with NA groups to cultivate an image most can agree on. Not everyone will agree, but if it's beneficial to both sides, why not?
