International Business, Times. "Is A Redskins Name Change In Order? Washington Mayor Wants To 'Do The Right Thing'." International Business Times 09 Jan. 2013: Points of View Reference Center. Web. 16 Oct. 2013.
Summary:
Washington Mayor Vincent C. Gray believes that if the Redskins are to move to the nationals capital that a name change must be in order. He believes that the name is racially insensitive to Native Americans. Gray points out that the Washington Bullets changed their name to the Wizards in 1997 without any repercussions. If the Redskins were to change their name then the Atlanta Braves and Cleavland Indians would have to as well.
I believe that the mayor shouldn't have a say on whether an NFL should change their name or not. However, if the team is coming to the mayor's town, then maybe he should have a say in what they're named. This creates a whole different aspect in who should decide.
