Today's news reports the Washington Redskins MUST change their name today!

Native Americans have been asking for this name change for years. I remember hearing about it when I was a kid. Strange that it took an African American man to be killed for people to listen. These are the times we are living in. Great write, Rico, to make one think. Blessings, Rhonda xx

I don't find "redskins" offensive, especially now that - as you can see on any Reservation - Native Americans are as white as Anglos because they no longer spend the day outdoors, so "redskins" really describe Anglos who work outdoors! Aloha! Rico

G'day Rico … I watched the news indicating a change is needed. What's wrong with some people in todays world. Remember 'sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me' - 'sigh'; oh well, modern thinking - Lindsay

Americans believe people of colour have an obligation to become as white as Michael Jackson! Aloha! Rico

The so-called suggestions are exactly this crazy.

All this obsession over skin colour is too absurd for words! Aloha! Rico
