I suppose the NFL could follow suit, but I doubt that the Redskins or the Chiefs will be seeing any "postseason" play this year anyway.

no biggie, I don't see the chorfs making post season anyway.

So do we also need to change the name of the Vikings in case we are offending some Scandinavians? I am not trying to be insensitive, but if they changed the team names to "Old Hillbillies" I would not be offended even though I am getting old and my mother is from the South.

This is silly. For every group that protests a Native American name, I read about tribes feeling honored that schools use those names.
