and even so i don't really care
i personally don't see much wrong with the video, at least message and video wise it wasn't pepsi ad levels of obnoxious

I thought it was a ridiculous thing to complain about it until I thought about it harder and honestly it's just downright weird that people still call Native Americans Indians. It's even stranger that this misnaming thing stretched as far as my home state being named Indiana. What was to be a nod towards Native American heritage ended up being related to India thru name.

it is weird, i will admit, but it is how it is i guess. i recall the history of it being it's shorter but that's all i know about it.
i don't speak for everyone native american however, i'm just saying i'm not offended, especially looking at a team that call themselves redskins or indians. and i don't really think a level-headed native american blood could be easily offended too, unless if you generate it into a nasty slur. i am white so this doesn't matter to me.
