The Washington Redskins announced Monday that they will change
their team name and logo after about 87 years of using it, in
the wake of corporate and public pressure to ditch the moniker
over racial connotations.

The Navajo Nation put out a statement on the retirement of the
Redskins name.

“July 13, 2020 is now a historic day for all Indigenous peoples
around the world as the NFL Washington-based team officially
announced the retirement of the racist and disparaging
‘Redskins’ team name and logo,” Navajo Nation President Jonathan
Nez wrote. “This change did not come about willingly by the
team’s owners, but by the mounting pressure and advocacy of
Indigenous peoples such as Amanda Blackhorse, and many other
warriors who fought long and hard for this change.”

The statement continued: “We strongly encourage the NFL
Washington organization to rename their team in such a way that
truly honors and respects the First Americans of this country.
Renaming the team ‘Code Talkers’ to honor the Navajo Code
Talkers, and other tribal nations who used their sacred language
to help win World War II, would set the team on a path to
restoring its reputation and correcting the historical
misrepresentation of Indigenous peoples.”

The Washington franchise has yet to announce a new team name.

"$BITCHE$".

You fucking pussies!
