The name is inappropriate and does not honor Indigenous People! #changethename #changethemascot @NFL @NFLPA @Redskins

[3rdGradeCRCS @3rdGradeCRCS]

The mascot should be something that resembles equality and diversity. The name should really be changed to something non-offensive. #changethename #changethemascot @Redskins @NFL

[3rdGradeCRCS @3rdGradeCRCS]

I would like the Indigenous People of America to be honored, exalted and apologized to. #indigenouspeoplesday @NYCMayor @NYGov

[3rdGradeCRCS @3rdGradeCRCS]

We should change the name due to the fact that Columbus committed horrible acts that should not be celebrated. #ipdnyc #columbusday @NYCMayor @NYGovCuomo

[3rdGradeCRCS @3rdGradeCRCS]

Change Columbus Day to Indigenous People's Day now! No more Colonizer Day! @NYCMayor @NYGovCuomo

[3rdGradeCRCS @3rdGradeCRCS]

Please change Columbus Day to Indigenous People's Day. You cannot discover someones home! #ipdnyc @NYGovCuomo @NYCMayor

[3rdGradeCRCS @3rdGradeCRCS]

Redskins refers to the scalps of Native Americans that were killed. It should be changed! @Redskins #changethename #changethemascot @NFL @NFLPA

[3rdGradeCRCS @3rdGradeCRCS]

I want to change the entire name. The R-word is disrespectful and derogatory. I change the name to a more prideful name to reflect the location of the team. Something with more national pride. @NFLPA @Redskins #changethename

[3rdGradeCRCS @3rdGradeCRCS]

The name is not sensitive to the Native People community. #changethename #changethemascot @Redskins

[3rdGradeCRCS @3rdGradeCRCS]

Columbus did not discover this land! Native People were here first!! #indigenouspeoplesday #columbusday @NYGovCuomo @NYCMayor

[3rdGradeCRCS @3rdGradeCRCS]

#columbusday needs to be changed! It does not honor Native People! @NYCMayor @NYGovCuomo

[3rdGradeCRCS @3rdGradeCRCS]

We want to change the name because Native People don't have red skin. @Redskins #changethename #changethemascot

[3rdGradeCRCS @3rdGradeCRCS]

We want to change the name of the Washington NFL team to something less offensive to Native People. @Redskins @NBCSRedskins #changethename #changethemascot

@mahtowin1 @NYGovCuomo @NYCMayor Thank you for your support!

[3rdGradeCRCS @3rdGradeCRCS]

Change Columbus Day to Indigenous Peoples Day in New York State and New York City! @NYGovCuomo @NYCMayor #indigenouspeoplesday

[3rdGradeCRCS @3rdGradeCRCS]

Christopher Columbus killed many people! He doesn't deserve a holiday! @redhawk_nyc @NYGovCuomo @NYCMayor #ipdnyc

[3rdGradeCRCS @3rdGradeCRCS]

We want you to change the mascot because no one has red skin! It doesn't make any sense! @Redskins #changethename #changethemascot

[3rdGradeCRCS @3rdGradeCRCS]

I want to change Columbus Day to Indigenous People's Day! @NYGovCuomo #columbusday

[3rdGradeCRCS @3rdGradeCRCS]
