    To be fair, Braves and Indians should go as well.

    Probably, but those are not direct slurs like Redskins.

    No, but it's the imagery behind those names. That's why things like the "De-Chief" movement for the Indians has popped up in recent years. And remember when the Braves got caught with the Indian head logo on their spring training caps one year?

    That state that's due north of Texas is probably due for a re-naming, as well. I can't type it out because apparently it's a slur.

    I'll take Red Herrings for $1,000, Alex.

    Time to remove all those Native American names from all those casinos, too.

    What they really should change it to, and I liked this even more for baseball when they named the Nationals, is the Washington Truth.

    Is it OK to name teams after fictional characters?
