Description from store
The word “Redskins” is racist. Yet our nation’s capital plays host to an NFL organization that uses the term as its team name — the Washington Redskins. It’s offensive. It’s unnecessary. And it needs to be replaced.
That’s where the Redskins Web Skin comes in. Simply install the extension to replace the term “Redskins” with a more dignified term on the web. And then sign the petition to make Dan Snyder replace the term with something more noble on the field.

- (2017-06-19) Jennifer Tanner: Works great, you just have to remember to click on the icon in the Chrome Toolbar and click the "Replace with other less racist names" button for it to apply. Thanks to the new Supreme Court ruling that barring disparaging trademarks violates the First Amendment, I need this extension more than ever.
- (2015-09-23) Chris Brugman: DOESN'T WORK. it's buggy and completely hijacks the screen before I can even use chrome. I have to close and it's a pain trying to delete or uninstall
- (2014-12-05) Matt Buccelli: Love the idea but it doesn't work.
- (2014-11-24) Eric Rogner: Lines like this make it totally worthwhile. "Humans fall short in San Francisco"
- (2014-11-21) Yosef Lerner: This extension is perfect for having something to talk about at lunch and never using again.
- (2014-11-19) Graham Brant-Zawadzki: This is the single greatest extension you can get for chrome. Incredibly well designed and for a great cause. Straight up perfect execution.

It isn't just the name itself that is the problem. While names like Negroes, Palefaces, Slanteyes, are offensive and racist, the very act of using Native Americans as a whole as mascots is racist as well. Therefore, making Native Americans, Natives, Indians, etc appear instead of Redskins, doesn't change the offensive nature of the name. We do not have the Blacks, Whites, or Asians either. Native Americans describes an entire continent of people (read 'race') who have been subjected to prejudice and stereotyping. It is quite different if you use a name of a specific tribe's nation that no longer exists and is historical (read Vikings or Redknifes (extinct tribe in Canada)), or an existing people (Irish or Cherokee), if the majority of that tribe don't object), or a warrior class like pirates and braves/warriors). But when you use a racial term, whether politically correct or offensive, is still a racial term, and still is stereotyping a huge a diverse group of people. Let your app change the name to warriors or something else, but when it changes Redskins to Native Americans, Natives, or Indians, it is still offensive to us.
