Native American Group Demands NFL Team Washington Commanders Change Their Name Back to “Redskins”

White liberals inflicting their racism and victimizing another minority.

Washington Examiner: A Native American group has threatened to boycott the Washington Commanders football team if the team does not revert to its older title, the Redskins. The group, Native American Guardians Association, has asked the team to change its name back to the Redskins in a letter dated Monday. The team decided to change its name in 2020, settling with the new name, the Commanders, in 2022. “Should we need to encourage a national boycott similar to what happened with Anheuser Busch which is now down $27 billion (note, not one brick thrown, not one highway blocked, not one bridge burned) – WE WILL DO JUST THAT,” the letter read (Washington Examiner).

Native Americans Guardians Associations: Native American Guardian’s Association Founder & President Eunice Davidson Sent a Demand Letter Today to 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” (Twitter).

National Pulse: The non-profit Native American Guardians Association (NAGA) has threatened the newly renamed “Washington Commanders” with a boycott similar to that of Bud Light’s parent company Anheuser-Busch unless the American Football team reverts to its historic name, the ‘Washington Redskins.’

The organization has written a letter to the team’s new ownership demanding the opportunity to discuss reinstating the team’s name in a face-to-face meeting, citing lawsuits, polls, and general sentiment to suggest that Native Americans are not offended by the name, ‘Redskin.’ The organization has also launched a “Reclaim The Name” online petition that has attracted over 70,000 signatories so far. However, it has been routinely ignored. 

NAGA, as a result, warned the football team that it is willing to appeal to the wider public for support, stating:

“Should we need to encourage a national boycott similar to what happened with Anheuser Busch which is now down $27 billion (note, not one brick thrown, not one highway blocked, not one bridge burned) – WE WILL DO JUST THAT.”

“We attempted to have an open dialogue with the now Washington Commanders since they made the name change several years ago… We felt that it was time to apply public pressure,” added NAGA’s President of Global Impact Campaigns, Healy Baumgardner.
