Get rid of the Washington Redskins and Cleveland Indians racist names as well.

prevnextWhile we are having these important conversations on racism through brand identity shouldn’t we include the NFL propagating Native American racial tropes? As a NFL licensee, I’ve been trying for years to get them to acknowledge that the re*sk&”ns need to change their damn name.

Washington Redskins, Kansas city chiefs, Atlanta Braves
@Redskins @NFL @ESPNNFL Great to see major moves tied to Aunt Jemima, Uncle Ben, Virginia logo and UNLV. Now, can the Washington Redskins show some class and lose their racist name. You know Native Americans do not like this. Act now. https://t.co/cH3kNL96BT
