Meeting next week in NYC. Oneida Indian nation sending reps to meet with the NFL. Call me cynical but this will be the meeting where some numbers will be bounced around to see how much it will cost the NFL/Redskins to make this entire matter just go away.
I don't see how this solves the problem. In fact it would only result in more protests. Some Native Americans are protesting the name not all. Of those who are not some aren't bother by the name, others are bothered by it but not to the point it is worth protesting. If the NFL or Snyder pays those who are protesting to stop, you can bet those who don't get paid, will start protesting the name. Only way to end the problem is change the name.

Also, how do you cut checks to every American Indian tribe? At last count, there were 562 of them. ( http://tribaldirectory.com/)

But I am sure the more vocal ones in this process would get paid and the others who haven't been saying anything would get nothing. Will be interesting to see how this plays out but I still think t the end of the day some money changes hands and this all goes away. We shall see
