The school removed the racist iconography in the 80's (the maskot was a white high school kid in an indian head dress), but eventually got thier shit together in the 90's and changed to the wolf pack.

Just as "nigger" is still offensive, even without visuals to go along with it, Redskins is a racist descriptor.<BR/><BR/>The name's heritage of racism goes back much further than the franchises' paltry 75 years. <BR/><BR/>And that legacy of the franchise is just going to be one that seemed more and more backward.
