MHB, yeah Redskin has been used with different intent and in a different context in a pejorative way. It is not being used with a pejorative intent, indeed quite the opposite, nor is its use in the context of a football team pejorative. You could also use the word Jew in a pejorative way, or in a value neutral, or also in a positive way. It depends primarily on intent and context.
In the case of the Washington Redskins football team the use of the word is not pejorative in either intent or context. An adult should be intelligent enough to understand that, and most Indians appear to be able to do so. The liberal activists and their unthinking followers are simply wrong.
