They name teams out of STRENGTH, not weakness, but now the Washington Redskins & Cleveland Indians, two fabled sports franchises, look like they are going to be changing their names in order to be politically correct. Indians, like Elizabeth Warren, must be very angry right now!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 6, 2020

Google Walter Blackie Wetzel. He designed the current logo back in 1972. The Redskins name was first used in 1933. No protests over the name occurred until 1968. BLACKFOOT Indian leader Walter Blackie Wetzel drew the design in 1972, and said to the Washington Post in 2002, "It made us all so proud to have an Indian in a big-time team. It's only a small group of radicals who oppose those names. Real Indians are proud of Indians."

His drawing (the current team logo) was inspired by Chief Two Guns White Calf.

Just dissolve the team and shut the doors. No Redskins? No NFL in DC.

Why not just simply the ‘Washington Reds’?

Yes. Washington is full of commies.

In other words, 15 Native American race hustlers.

If they want all records, images and names of native Americans to be erased so be it.

It will be as if they never existed.
