Summary:
Rush Limbaugh provided insight on who he believed should be responsible on whether or not the Redskins should change their name. When asked about the name change on his talk radio show he responded with; "Let the NFL figure this out." He believes that the federal government should stop sticking their nose where it doesn't belong. This is in response to 10 Congressman sending letters to Roger Goodell (NFL Commissioner) petitioning for the name to be changed. Limbaugh believes that if people were being offended, that nobody would show up to the games every week. When a survey was taken by the Washington Post, about two thirds of the responders did not think the name was offensive.
I think that an issue that exists solely in the NFL should stay in the NFL. Limbaugh is correct when saying that the government should keep its nose out. However, I disagree with his point about the stadiums being filled every week. The stadium is not filled with Native Americans, the people that we are concerned over offending. Another funny thing is if he wants the government to shut up about it, maybe he should as well.
