NFL owners meet in Washington D.C. on Tuesday with the Oneida Indian Nation members to debate about the Washington Redskins mascot. Per Maske, Aldopho Birch, the league's VP of labor relations, wrote a letter to the Oneida Nation Tribe to have the meeting about the name. Obama thinks the name "Redskins" truly offend a group of people so he came out and said "think about changing," to the Redskins owner. Obama later said “I don't want to detract from the wonderful Redskins fans that are here. They love their team and rightly so." By next year Washington may have a different mascot, we will have to wait and see.
