Unable to address any of those issues we get this pablum instead from their so-called "leaders."

It's another Confederate-flag tactic -- we've addressed the symbol and thereby discharged our obligations.

It's not an either/or thing. Whether or not native American's more practical problems are addressed, the Redskins' name is indefensible.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
