Lawsuit highlights dispute over Washington team's identity and the ramifications of cancel culture.. A lawsuit advocating for restoring the name Redskins to the National Football League (NFL)’s Washington team alleges that a rival Native American organization improperly prompted the change to the team now called the Commanders. The Native American Guardian Association
(NAGA) filed its complaint in the U.S. District Court of North Dakota against the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) and Josh Harris, who acquired the team in July for $6.05 billion. “NAGA’s members were huge Redskin fans precisely because they were the Redskins,” the complaint states. “It...

As usual, woke leftists’ idiotic virtue-signaling is backfiring. A
Native American Indian group has scored a whopping 128,000 signatures for its petition to restore the “Redskins” name to the famous Washington football team.Leftists in recent years have made a virtue of erasing non-white icons from sports teams and brands, including Aunt Jemina (whose original model brought herself from slavery to huge financial success), Uncle Ben, and, of course, the Redskins. However, the Native American Guardian Association (NAGA) is upset that leftists are erasing symbols and depictions of native tribes’ heritage. And they’ve scored over 120 thousand signatures to back up...

Bring back the Redskins! God, I would love to see this! A
Native American group is attempting to rebrand Washington‘s NFL franchise back to the original “Redskins” name, and it’s gaining some serious steam as Americans left and right are opposing cancel culture. You’ve heard of “MAGA,” now meet NAGA — the Native American Guardian’s Association — which is a North Dakota-based nonprofit organization. They’ve started a Change.org petition meant to gloriously bring back the iconic “Washington Redskins” moniker, and it fantastically surpassed 100,000 signatures Tuesday. Created on June 21, the petition wants a return to the original name to...

A Native American group is threatening to go on the warpath if the NFL’s Washington football team doesn’t readopt its iconic “Redskins” name and punt the “Commanders” moniker it assumed in 2020 in response to coercion from the cancel-culture crowd. On
Monday, the Native American Guardian’s Association (NAGA) sent a letter to the new leadership of the team, condemning the “cancel culture” that pressured the previous owner to drop “Redskins.” The group has also posted a petition on Change.org, calling for restoration of “Redskins.” By Thursday, more people (75,000) had signed the petition than can be seated in the team’s...

A Native American group has threatened a national boycott of the Washington Commanders unless the NFL team reverses course and changes its name back to the Washington Redskins. The Native American Guardians Association (NAGA) wrote on Twitter — now X — that the group, along with its Founder and President Eunice Davidson,
have sent a letter to the “Washington ‘Commanders’ Ownership & Key Leadership Formally Requesting The Team Revitalize it’s Relationship With The American Indian Community & Rightfully Change Their Name Back to ‘The Redskins.'” In a letter that addressed what the group called the “cancel culture” against the Native...

Look, Fat, here’s the deal, as Old Joe Biden would say: the left has won the culture wars. But
that was just the first round. The second round isn’t going so well for the fascist forces of hatred and division masked as equity and inclusion. Patriots continue to pour Bud Light down the drain for trying to force the trans madness upon its unwilling customer base, and now the nickname wars, which Leftists had every reason to believe were won and settled once and for all, have taken an unexpected turn: a Native American group wants that football team in...

Commanders (Redskins) owner Daniel Snyder again declines to testify at U.S. House committee hearing about team misconduct
|

See BS Sports ^
| 6/20/22 | Cody Benjamin, Shanna McCarriston
The U.S. House of Representative's Oversight Committee, one of Congress' top investigative arms, recently requested that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and Commanders owner Daniel Snyder testify at a hearing Wednesday regarding workplace misconduct inside the Washington franchise. One
of them has officially declined the invitation, with Axios reporting last week that Snyder will not attend the hearing over concerns he and his lawyers have over "due process." The Washington Post then reported that Goodell has accepted the invitation to testify, although he will appear remotely. On Friday, the committee's chairwoman, Carolyn Maloney (D-NY), wrote a letter trying to get Snyder...

The NFL fines a Redskins coach for failing to take January 6 seriously

A once manly, robust American sport is nothing more than a woke joke that uses its market power to enforce Maoist speech and thought controls. Jack
Del Rio, the defensive coordinator for the Washington Redskins (and yes, I’m deadnaming a football team originally named to honor the Native American fighting spirit), very politely suggested that, if the Democrats are going to get hysterical about January 6, they also need to take seriously the summer of BLM riots. For his temerity in failing to respect Saint George Floyd, the drug-addicted ex-con, and not taking sufficiently seriously the worst day in American...

earlier in the day. He said Del Rio’s statements were hurtful to members of the local community and did not reflect the views of the organization.Asked Wednesday about a social media post he made earlier in the week, Del Rio downplayed the deadly insurrection and questioned why the...

I’m a lifelong Redskins fan. So,
when I say there is one man in the NFL who deserves to have his franchise ripped from his cold, dead hands it’s Dan Snyder — you can believe I’m being sincere. I’ve spent most of my years as a fan watching this smug asshole spend wildly while the Redskins always find ways to fall apart each season no matter who the coach is or who is on the roster. That leaves one person footing the bill – Snyder… But I’d gladly take another decade of losing if it meant the team wasn’t owned...

This ‘Caucasians’ T-shirt is going viral for mocking NFL’s Redskins

New York Post ^
| January 12, 2021 | Hannah Sparks
A photograph of a presumably indigenous man wearing a red-and-gold T-shirt that reads “Caucasians,” a parody of the NFL team formerly known as the Washington Redskins, has sparked a viral debate on Twitter. The photograph shared by @infamouschar appears to have been lifted from the original user, who was not credited, and
the man in the image remains anonymous. Nevertheless, the tweet has raked in more than 525,000 likes in 36 hours, with many in the replies vowing to buy a version of the novelty shirt for themselves. However, others argued that the relatively tame irony didn’t go far enough...

“CNN appears to have altered a widely seen photograph of Joe Biden with his young son to remove the logo of the Washington Redskins,” reports Fox News. If CNNLOL is willing to go to all the trouble to lie about little things like this to protect Joe Biden and to defeat Trump,
imagine the lengths CNNLOL is currently going to to lie and mislead and gaslight over big things. Stuff that matters. Thought of that should put a chill straight up your spine. In June, on Father’s Day, Biden, the Democrat nominee for president, shared a photo of himself and...

NFL's Redskins Renamed As Washington Football Team
|

abc.net.au ^
| Jul 23, 2020
The NFL team formerly known as the Redskins will go by the Washington Football Team for at least the 2020 season, giving the organisation time to choose a new, full-time name. Gone
is the Indian head logo and the name Native American advocates have called a dictionary-defined racial slur. Here to stay are the burgundy and gold colours that are synonymous with the franchise's storied history. Executive vice-president and chief marketing officer Terry Bateman, who was hired on Monday to oversee the name change and rebranding process, called the temporary design "a nice link between the history and the future"....

Daily Mail ^
| July 23, 2020 | Jennifer Smith
NFL fans are trolling the team formerly known as the Redskins for revealing their hotly-anticipated new name on Thursday: Washington Football Team. In an announcement on Thursday, the team said: 'We're retiring our old name - and building a new kind of team. For
the upcoming season, we're calling ourselves The Washington Football Team.' The new logo is the word Washington with the 'Football Team, EST 1932' beneath it. It replaces the old logo, which was of an Native American chief.
