yes. its a very common in social science research that those most invested have the strongest opinions. however, i dont necessarily found that as persuasive argument for a number of reasons. why should a vocal minority be able to speak for the majority? for comparison purposes, should only "invested" rams fans be able to choose the next uniform? im sure some people here would say yes to that but Im not one of them.
that being said, its possible the name should be changed if it was historically derogatory. living here in dc for the last 30 years ived heard that the lineage of the name is not derogatory but in full disclosure i haven't looked into it as fact.
