Activists criticize poll on offensiveness of Redskins' name (Yahoo Sports)

Native American leaders and activists criticized a recent national poll that found nine of 10 Native Americans aren't offended by the Washington Redskins' name. On a conference call held Friday by the Oneida Nation News, panelists voiced opposition to a Washington Post poll that surveyed 504 Native Americans, 90 percent of whom said the name doesn't bother them. James Fenelon, a California State San Bernardino sociology professor, called the poll ''immoral,'' adding it was not representative of Native American communities.
