I'm not out to change the world or the NFL or what you believe. My plan is to change me and how I operate. Beyond the period at the end of this sentence, I intend never to use the word redskin again. I say "intend" instead of "vow" because I very well could slip up and accidentally say it again in casual conversation or during an interview. For any sports fan, the word simply falls from the lips without thought. And that's the problem with uttering a racial slur so cavalierly over the years: We don't think about the R-word's meaning anymore. We must not take for granted anything so harmful to other people.Get the Story:
