The term "redskin" is racist and using Native Americans as a mascot is ridiculous. The usage of "redskins" as a mascot dehumanizes Native Americans and promotes stereotypes that negatively impact the Native American community. 
 
 A 2020 study at UC Berkeley found that 49% of Native Americans found the name offensive, rising to 67% of those who said they regularly participated in native or tribal culture. 
 
 "Following the February 2013 symposium 'Racist Stereotypes and Cultural Appropriation in American Sports' at the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian, 10 members of Congress sent a letter to the Redskins' owner and the NFL Commissioner requesting that the name be changed since it is offensive to Native Americans. In response, Daniel Snyder told USA Today: 'We'll never change the name. ... It's that simple. NEVER—you can use caps.'"

Honda (California), Donna M. Christensen (Virginia Islands), Zoe Lofgren and Barbara Lee (both of California) and Eleanor Holmes Norton of the District.]

  
The letters argued that “Native Americans throughout the country consider the ‘R-word’ a racial, derogatory slur akin to the ‘N-word’ among African Americans or the ‘W-word’ among Latinos.

It's 2020, it's about time we stop using a derogatory slur as a mascot for a football team.
