I'm old (61) and I can never remember "redskin" being a negative term tho' I'm from the East Coast and I know things are different west of here. Still, our Redskins are suppose to be brave and strong and tough and smart and using the word "redskins" to imply those things is saying something very positive about Native Americans.
