THE WASHINGTON, TIMES. "'Redskins' Isn't Only Offensive Name." Washington Times, The (DC) (2013): 2. Points of View Reference Center. Web. 21 Oct. 2013.
Summary:
The President recently weighed in on the Redskins name change. People are starting to consider this name offensive... but are they overlooking something else? If the name Redskins is offensive, then the name of our 46th state must be changed. Oklahoma, is derived from two Choctaw Indian words meaning"red people". If the Redskins are offensive, then how isn't this?
This is a huge point being made. This really just shows that people like to pick their battles. If this soon turns into a debate over whether a states name would be changed, that would be huge. I think people shouldn't be hypocrites.

This was written by The Washington Times board, so it's pretty credible.
