I can understand why a Native American would be upset with the name. A chief or a brave are generic terms, while a Redskin is a pejorative. I mean, you wouldn't name a sports team the N_ _ _ _ _ _, right? So, fine change the name to something else. NFL teams have done it before. Houston's franchise returned as the Texans. Tennessee dropped the Oilers mantle to be the Titans (which has a whole lot to do with the state of Tennessee). Baltimore went with the Ravens rather than trying to get back the name Colts. So, not a big deal in my eyes.
