The Washington Redskins are being pressured to change their nickname, on the ground that "Redskins" is offensive to Indians or Native Americans. I have a proposal. Change the name to "Washington 'Skins" (with the apostrophe). Nobody can claim that the nickname is offensive. I suspect that many fans of the Redskins already use the shortened version, in the same way that many fans of the Dallas Cowboys use the term "the 'Boys"; just make it official.
