Rival Report 5/20: Washington Post survey finds 90% of Native Americans polled not offended by name "Redskins"

It's that time of year again, the time where we have a debate about a certain name of a team in the NFL that should or shouldn't still exist in 2016. That's right folks, the debate over the name "Redskins" has hit the main stream again, though this time the defense of the name got some ammunition.

Those bullets come in the form of a Poll put out by the Washington post that asked whether the name was offensive to 504 self-proclaimed Native Americans. In a surprising twist, 9 out of 10 of the people polled said that they do not believe the name is offensive.
