Why ‘Redskins’ should go

This story was filed on

Kudos to Courtland Milloy for urging Dan Snyder to change the name of his Washington Redskins [Metro, Jan. 9]. The name is deeply offensive, and not just to Native Americans. Those of us who want to root for the local team should not have to feel guilty about cheering for a team with a racist name.
