A Native American group has put the rush on against theand demanded the organization revert its name to"Redskins" – the name the team adopted when it was in Boston in 1933.
"We invite all Americans to stand up for the dignity of EVERY AMERICAN under assault in today’s increasingly nonsensical culture wars," the petition says."This ‘LINE IN THE SAND’ moment reinforces undeniable history of the NATIVE AMERICAN assisting the FOUNDING OF AMERICA, with NATIVE AMERICAN principles used by the FOUNDING FATHERS in the US Constitution – and, EVERY AMERICAN's right to the 1st and 14th Amendment and not to be targets of cancel culture or ESG.
Last week, the group sent a letter to Commanders leadership – including new team owner Josh Harris, team president Jason Wright and head coach–"formally requesting the team revitalize its relationship with the American Indian community and rightfully change their name back to ‘the Redskins.'" Snyder said the name had"increasingly become a distraction from our primary focus of football" and made the change"in the spirit of inclusivity."
