Just shorten the name a little! They are now the "Washington Reds"! I mean, there's precedent! Only minor alterations to the memorabilia are required, and everybody's happy!

Because somehow that's less racist. Except that it isn't.

Everyone knows that redskin potatoes are the best. You might even say they are the master race of potatoes.

It's higher than a lot of things and something that could possibly be improved upon.

Actually, it's something that could definitely be improved upon with a simple pen signature. And once its done, people who formerly screamed at the imaginary needle will be amazed at how painless it really all was.
But like most things in this country that involve just racial compassion and respect against hegemonic generational privilege, this might have to wait until some obsolete, aging assholes squatting in the way of progress die off, though.

No, the big fucking embarrassment is you and your ilk.
Once we find a separate Earth-like planet out there in the cosmos, we're gonna build a giant spaceship and ship you all off there to create your own conservative paradise far away from us bleeding heart liberals. Then come back in twenty years to answer the distress beacon activated by those who barely survive your inevitable decay and ruin.

And you endorse this idea without reservations?

Nothing any of us can do is going to solve the sluggish economy or people out of work. The kids who are undernourished are goign to remain that way until we make a readical change in this country. This is part of the boiling over racial tensions (if it can even be called that. If you're anything but white this shit is what happens on Tuesday. Whites have just decided to pay attention for a fw weeks.
The historical level sof income inequality are again goign to remain until a radical change happens.
ISIS is a distraction, 18 Trillion dollar debt can be dealt with in time but is goign to take time.
This is something tangible we can accomplish now amidst a list of things you rightly mentioned that nothing really anybody does is goign to fix in the short term.

The Communist Party might object to having their alternate name stolen like that.
And then, what about the logo?

If it didn't hurt baseball in Cincinnati, it won't hurt football in Washington D.C.

As long as people like KO and RJ are alive, the Reds will just be a dog whistle and they will continue to be outraged way out of proportion until all vestiges of the name, logo and owner are expunged from the record including the digital editing of the NFL films library and the Hall of Fame.
AND
The only Fawkin'Injuns that they are willing to listen to are the ones who are outraged.
They are never going to stop either. Next will be even the good Indian names and the generic Indians used by many schools. If they get this little victory, it will be vindication and it will then be used as "tacklin' fuel" for their next political lynching.
Their smug moral superiority is created whole cloth out of the fantasy that they are correcting history and raising the self-esteem of the Redskins who are nothing more than romantic victims to their false mythologies.
Next they will most certainly want to end the use of names like Chippewa Falls and Wichita Falls because it implies a dead Indian mortally wounded by a white pioneer's rifle. If you give into the nut bars once, then they will hound our society to the ends of time just like Sharpton, Jackson, Holder and Obama do.

There was a brief time when Cincinnati considered changing the name because the communist connotation of "Reds" was upsetting to some people.
Today, "Reds" being associated with Republicans is almost as bad as being associated with Soviet communists.

Reds makes me think of mother's little helper even though it's just a little pill...
It just helps her on her way,
Through her busy dying day.

Painless to you maybe.....its not your business and its not YOU that has to change your brand.
How about we campaign to get cola or Doritos off the shelf, cause its making our children fat, or ban cigarettes cause they are killing people. Or, you can just sit on your couch and root for the easy one, get that Redskin name banned....

Sorry, guy. Nobody who has privilege in this is going to lose their privilege. No matter how much you cry about suffering under a name change, you ain't gonna suffer one bit.
Your shitty, weak and irrelevant comparisons of this issue to banning Doritos and cigarettes due to health reasons are just that, shitty, weak and irrelevant.
