Letters: Debate over Redskins name

MONDAY, JANUARY 14, 2002

Eileen Mattingly: "One doesn't have to be Native American to be offended -- I wince every time I hear [Redskins]."

William G. Bittner: "Part of Native Americans' heritage is an undying passion to excel. The character and integrity displayed by the Plains Indians make every Redskins fan proud to be called a 'Redskin.'"

Stacie Keenan: "The Washington Redskins could eliminate the controversy surrounding the name and at the same time maintain their logo. Simply change the team name from 'Redskins' to 'Natives.'"
