Is it finally happening?

After literally decades of being badgered over its nickname, the Washington Redskins may finally be acquiescing to a change.

And here it is: the Redskins are undergoing a thorough review of the team’s name.

And let’s be clear: There’s no review if there’s no change coming.

The final straw seemed to be the objections of major corporate sponsors like FedEx and Nike. Once a business's gravy train is being legitimately threatened, changes will occur.

Personally, I couldn't care less if there's a name change. But if Native Americans legitimately feel demeaned and offended over the team's nickname, then I absolutely defer to their sentiments. However, a poll taken four years ago indicated that 9 out of 10 Native Americans were not offended by the name "Redskins." So unless their opinions have dramatically shifted in that time frame, this latest effort for a name change is little more than a virtue signaling exercise by non-Natives. If indeed it is the latter, we're living in a society where a collective of lily white "progressives" are deeply offended on behalf of a group who themselves are not and an organization called Black Lives Matter which does not truly put black lives first.

Stupid times indeed.
