That may have been their original intent, but once it becomes clear that a not insignificant portion of the population finds the name offensive, you would think that a modern company would change their name for the good PR. The Redskins organization doesn't seem to care about good PR. Not with the name issue, and not with this front page story about how they are suing some of their most loyal fans into bankruptcy. It's not illegal though. So it's their prerogative.
