It's not about whether it's offensive; it's about whether they can exercise power and coerce behavior.
Having said that, and as an aside (particularly because IDGAF about the NFL since they decided to embrace woke SJW stupidity vs. America - and I DO mean "vs."),
I tried to get those stupid MFs to change their name to the Washington Americans back in 2015. Imagine that, for a second: "The Washington Americans." Wouldn't even have to change their logo, and it would short-circuit all the bullshit. Think of all the people who would buy jerseys and logo-wear that said "Americans..." It would turn the chief logo into a plus, by accurately calling them "Americans." But they wouldn't do it, because they're fucking idiots.
