The irony is that actual American Indians aren't actually bothered by the name. It's just white privileged liberals being offended on their behalf.

Ummm....actually many of the ones I know are bothered by the name. There is a lot of stereotyping. I'm not opposed to the name change. I used to just shrug it off, but the more I read , and listen, the more I think it needs to be done.

The link to the poll goes to the Washington Post. From there I couldn't follow as it is behind a paywall.

Never - but I was in quite a few bars in another official capacity.

It's actually a well known website in the sports world but it has a bad reputation for blatantly stealing content.

And yet two years later the WaPo conducted a poll of Native Americans concerning the team's name and lo and behold they found that 90% of the respondents were "not bothered" by the team's name. That 2016 poll confirms the results of an earlier Annenberg poll in 2004 which likewise found that 90% were not bothered by the name and only 9% found it offensive.

To say the least the MSM was not pleased with the results proclaiming that Native Americans just MUST be as offended and outraged as they are so in 2019 the WaPo conducted a second poll which addressed most of the concerns expressed about their first one. Guess what. They still found that the overwhelming majority, just under 70% aren't offended by the name.

That's precisely the story being quoted by Barstoolsports.com which whag chose to laugh off.

So I guess liberals no longer consider the Washington Post to be credible.
