And the Skins still lost the game. Well played Danny boy.

Washington Redskins owner Dan Snyder was seen Sunday sitting with the outgoing president of the Navajo Nation as the NFL team continues taking heat for not changing its name, a term considered derogatory by many Native Americans.Fox Sports showed Ben Shelly and his wife -- both wearing Redskins hats -- sitting next to Snyder for the Redskins vs. Cardinals game in Arizona on Sunday. Outside of the stadium in Glendale, demonstrators who take issue with the name stood with signs lambasting the team's name.

I haven't heard much about the team name in a while. I think when the team sucks and they're not getting any headlines, fewer people are offended by the name. Go figure.

So now they want the name changed not because it's racist, but because it's embarrassing.

That's how the tidal wave of public opinion works.

Maybe that is their stoic, reserved Redskin way of expressing how much fun they are having?

See? It is a derogatory term.
