Marshall has become an Unperson. When Snyder is gone can he be written out of Redskins history too for incompetence. Perhaps the next owner will vaporize Snyder for not changing the "racist" team name.

Marshall was also a part owner of the Boston Braves which later moved to Atlanta.

No doubt in my mind that the Redskins will become the Rabbits or some such BS.

Are we in Orwell’s1984? Stalin’s Soviet Union?

These people are rewriting history. So it will be as if George Preston Marshall never existed.

The sounds to me like 1984.

His image in photographs will be airbrushed out, down the Memory Hole with him. They will probably go through their entire archive of promotional literature and team histories and remove all references to him as well. He will become a non-person.

They should arrest the POS who is their current owner — but if they did that, they might actually be good at some point in the future.

Redskins suck,
Snyder is a loser fanboy
who will not see the team to another winning season, much less a Play-off win (I won’t mention the Super Bowl, because they have no business being in the same sentence — unless it is past tense).

And now they won’t even have their crappy history.

Well, they can change the plaques, but they can’t change the facts.

On the other hand, I don’t really care, because I don’t care about the sport, or any of the people involved, or any of the people who are or will be fans.

I had to look up his sin. Apparently, it was being slow to sign a black player. However, he did sign a black player in 1962, and since that’s nearly 60 years ago, and probably most footballers are black now, I’d say just let it go.

But there is no letting it go with the Marxists. They have found their wedge, and blacks are letting themselves be used as the tip of the spear.

When are the leftist book burners going to cancel a certain POTUS who put 110,000 Japanese Americans (most born in the US) into large inland internment camps?

Yes. This is totally Orwellian. Marshall goes down the memory hole and it’s like he was never there. Gotta say, it’s getting late in the day.

In bourgeois society … the past controls the present; in communist society, the present controls the past.
Just putting the Manifesto into action, yet again.

The communist purge continues.

Facts? History? Not important - we must destroy and only have the perfect socialist utopia.

No more stadium support - burn them all down.

I think the franchise should be dissolved and have its assets seized and given to BLM. Removing references to the founder isn’t enough to remove the taint.

Call them the Commie Reds.

The Left will love that.

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.” ― George Orwell, 1984

Perhaps it would be easier to just rename the team THE REDSKIN POTATOES.

The Washington Redskins have decided to remove all references of original owner George Preston Marshall, who founded the team in 1933 and owned it until his death in 1969.

Why? The Redskins were the last team in the league to bring in black players, and Marshall was the driving force behind the league's original ban on black players from 1933 to 1945. Erase him from Skins history and the NFL's history and who exactly did get black players banned from the NFL and the Skins? Invisible pixies?
