Celebrity chef Paula Deen admits that she used the word nigger “a very long time” ago in strictly private conversations, and she, like so many others, is immediately banned from broadcasting, but team owner Dan Snyder is not only responsible for the repeated use of the word "redskins" on hundreds of radio and TV stations, but is so proud of it that he publicly vows he will "never" change the team’s name. Why? What's different?

nyder is proud to continue using a word which three judges found to be "a derogatory term of reference for Native Americans" and tends to bring them "into contempt or disrepute"; which the D.C. Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments condemned as "demeaning and dehumanizing"; which both chairmen of the congressional Native American Caucus, and other members of Congress, blasted as "offensive epithets," "disparaging to Native Americans," and "racial slurs"; which several states have found too offensive to be permitted to be used on personalized vehicle license plates; and which has been denounced and condemned as the most racist of all terms relating to Indians – the R-word is to them what the N-word is to Blacks – by dozens of leading organizations representing American Indians.
