It is not being used in a disrespectful manner.

It is not like if they named a team the Detroit Negroes, which would be disrespectful. (No offense to anyone, just an example of a true stereotypical sports team name, that would be offensive, intended to contrast the sillyness)

Redskins, the fierce warriors that destroyed the bastard Custer. The cry from the front of the wagon train that invoked terror into every man woman and child.

I see it as respect for the warrior prowess they held, the resistance they gave in the face of superior firepower and manpower. Stalwart, brave, unwavering.

A fine name for a sports team.
