Ok, my mistake. I took that to mean some other Native American related name and logo, just less offensive than Redskins and allowing some Native Americans to pick it.

That could still be an issue because there will never be a name that is impossible for some people to find offensive even if 99% of Native Americans agree and want it. Or even if 100% somehow were happy about it now, there’s no telling how people will feel in 10 years. Better to name the team after an animal or something like that than go with anything (even an “inoffensive” name) that has to do with any specific group of people or they could find themselves in this same situation a few years from now.
