I doubt most American Indians care, with the exception of individuals who want to stir the pot.

No, it is not. It's old fans remembering the glory days of Riggins, the Hogs, Jurgensen, even Theismann. And most of all that snowy Sunday in 1972 in the old RFK stadium playing Dallas for the NFC Championship and the entire stadium shook. What a glorious day that was! Wear your Redskins paraphernalia with pride because the Commanders are losers in every way!
I was there!
They went on to win the Superbowl but honestly, that NFC Championship game with Dallas was more important than the Superbowl! It brought this area together and everyone was so smiling and happy even a few Dallas fans. Sonny Jurgensen, Sam Huff, and Frank Herzog with his signature line. "Touchdown Washington Redskins!" and the band played "'Hail to Redskins. Hail Victory. Braves on the warpath, fight for old DC." My father had seats in the end zone and it was like a huge family there.
"Those were the days, my friend. We thought they'd never end," but Jack Kent died and that cretin Snyder took over.

But if I did, I would be outraged! This is unacceptable.

You shouldn't have had it in the first place, names like that should have gone away decades ago (long before 2020!), but to still have the license plate frame or the flag on your antenna or in your front window on game day or whatever...you are just flaunting something you know is considered racist. Might as well put on a pointy hood while you're at it, you're trash.
That’s quite the overreaction! Especially since many people wearing Redskins stuff are African-Americans.
When I see somebody wearing Redskins gear, it just tells me they’re an OG fan. They have been fans through the good times and the bad times, and they are still proud to be fans.
Exactly!
+1 I dare the PP to walk up to an older DC native and tell them their Redskins gear is offensive. LOL.
