Count Republican presidential hopeful Jeb Bush among the Washington Redskins' supporters.
Bush told ESPN's Andy Katz and ABC's Rick Klein that while he doesn't find the term offensive, he also doesn't think it's an issue politicians should be involved with in the first place.
"I don't think (the Redskins) should change it," Bush said in a promo for Katz and Klein's new SiriusXM show "The Arena." "But again, I don't think politicians ought to have any say in that to be honest with you. I don't find it offensive. Native American tribes generally don't find it offensive. We had a similar kind of flap with FSU if you recall, the Seminoles, and the Seminole tribe itself kind of came to the defense of the university and it subsided."
"It's a sport for crying out loud. It's a football team. Washington has a huge fanbase. I just, I don't ... I'm missing something here I guess."
You can listen to Bush discuss the controversial topic in the clip below.
