Not to mention, racism, pseudo racism, implied racism is not illegal.
They can bitch all they want. The problem occurs when the government gets involved.
This whole movement is similar to the sharia law movement in the Europe. Next thing you know muslims will start suing newspapers for printing images of mohammed. Where does it end?

This. YOU DO NOT HAVE A RIGHT NOT TO BE OFFENDED. You are welcome to picket all you want. If you get enough people to stop going to the games and supporting the Redskins because they are offended with you - then the team will change it's name, because not doing so would be bad for business. You win.
If you make government get involved and force the team to change it's name, then America, and the freedom loving people in it, loses.
