eventually people realized you can t have a restaurant change in the united states called sambo s. it s derogatory. isn t it time for the redskins to recognize it s the same thing? it s wrong to have a name like that. you know, i hate in a historic moment they would ever disagree with jeffrey toobin on anything. but jeff, if you ask native americans are you offended by the word indians they didn t come from india. we re calling them native americans tonight on the show because we don t say indians anymore. that s not true. a lot of native americans don t mind indian. the focus is on the redskins and the cleveland indians. it s about a sports team. we mean no offense. i take your point. some people are offended. but the only data we have, and in virginia the virginia tribes are uniformly against changing the name. but there are other tribes against it. most native americans. and most americans, nine out of ten native americans, eight out of nine in 2013, jeff, all
are uniformly against changing the name. other tribes against it. most native americans. and most americans, nine out of ten native americans, eight out of nine in 2013, jeff, all americans say don t change the name. lanny will correct me if i m wrong, i think the polling he s referring to is many years old. the poll from 2004. so old i don t know if it should be brought up. lanny keeps saying no harm is meant. i don t know that intentions are what we re talking about here. we re talking about effects. if harm is taken i don t think it matters if no harm is meant. i come from a minority group. i m a minority group. so i can be a squish about this political correctness and not offending people. and i was feeling that way this morning until i read this piece by rick riley who s an espn writer. of course, i know nothing about sports so you just told me he is a very well-known writer.
