    Results of SurveyUSA News Poll #21631

    By 2:1, Nation's Capital Does Not Want Washington DC NFL Football Team to Change Its Name:
    65% of adults from greater Washington DC do not want the professional football team, the 'Redskins,' to change its name, according to a SurveyUSA poll
    conducted exclusively for WUSA-TV. 31% do want the NFL team to change its name. At least 60% of men and women, young and old, want the team name left
    as it is.
    Football fans are more likely to want the name left as it is. Non-football fans are more likely to want the name changed.
    Republicans, conservatives and whites are more likely to want the team name left alone. Democrats, liberals and African Americans are more likely to want the
    team name changed. But even among Democrats, liberals and African Americans, a majority want to leave the Redskins nickname alone.
    By 3:1, area residents say that sports announcers should continue to use the name 'Redskins' when they are talking about the team: 72% say sports announcers
    should call the team by its name; 21% say sports announcers should not.
    24% in the nation's capital say that the term 'Redskins' is always offensive, no matter the context in which it is used. 29% say that the term is offensive only in
    certain contexts. 46%, a plurality, say the term is not offensive. 60% of adults say that the National Football League should respect the wishes of a majority of
    fans in making any rulings about team names.
    Cell-phone respondents and home-phone respondents included in this research: SurveyUSA interviewed 600 Washington DC area adults 09/19/14 through
    09/22/14. The research was conducted using blended sample, mixed mode. Respondents reachable on a home telephone (62%), were interviewed on their home
    telephone in the recorded voice of a professional announcer. Respondents not reachable on a home telephone (38%), were shown a questionnaire on their
    smartphone, tablet or other electronic device. Of the 600 adults interviewed, 53% say they are fans of the DC football team, 28% say they are fans of another
    NFL team, and 19% are not football fans. You must credit WUSA-TV of Washington DC if you air, publish or cite these results in whole or part.
