epa04403057 An organization called 'Change the Mascot' holds a news conference urging the Washington Redskins NFL football team to change their name, as the term is a 'dictionary defined racial slur' in the Dirksen Senate Office Building in Washington, DC USA, 16 September 2014. Many politicians, celebrities and even the United Nations have called for the team to change its name, though the team's owner has so far refused to consider it. He maintains that the name is not racist and is supported by many native Americans. EPA/JIM LO SCALZO
