Native American Group Threatens National Boycott If Washington Football Team Doesn’t Change Name Back To ‘Redskins’



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 American population and the erasure of its “steadfast role in American history, including serving as counselors to the Founding Fathers in the creation of the U.S. constitution.”

The letter talked about the history of the Washington football team and it’s relationship with the Native American community dating back to its 1933 season when they were named the Boston Redskins.

“At this moment in history, we are formally requesting that the team revitalize its relationship with the American Indian community by (i) changing the name back to ‘The Redskins’ which recognizes America’s original inhabitants and (ii) using the team’s historic name and legacy to encourage Americans to learn about, not cancel, the history of America’s tribes and our role in the founding of this Great Nation,” the letter read.

“Should we need to encourage a national boycott similar to what happened with Anheuser Busch (Bud Light) 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 added.

The letter closed out by noting that in 2023, this “oppression and arbitrary and capricious recognition of U.S. history and Constitutional rights is not acceptable.” The group also vowed to stand their ground because, if “you don’t acknowledge history, we are doomed to repeat it.”

In 2020, the team announced it was removing Redskins from its name and two years later announced the national professional football team would be called the Washington Commanders.

The name change came about from pressure from the cancel culture mob following the death of George Floyd and those who claimed that the term was racist and offensive to Native Americans.

 

Not sure how much influence or say so Magic will have being only a 4% owner.

 

So would Sly.

 

So why did you post this? Are you one of those that like to stir shit up? Like the dude from Tennessee who doesn’t post here anymore who used to screen grab a black person in the audience at a Trump rally and scream, “SEE!!!!! “SEE!!!!!!”

 

Pshhh..., I offered him $50 worth of Hot Pockets to share his "black book" with me....and he accepted.

 

This is a forum where people post a lot of things, that's what we do here...seems to me that you're the one "stirring things up". If you disagree with a post, of mine or anyone else for that matter, offer something tangible to counter it instead of simply making derogatory assumptions about people when you actually have no basis.

And if you are trying to draw a parallel between me and ABM, well, you're way off the mark.

 

Doesn’t feel like it.

 

Not my problem.

 

This dudes a clown. Going to stop wasting my time.

 

Thank you...and bless your heart.

 

Just go with Commanders-in-Chief. A little something for everyone.

 

I 100% agree with NAGA request.

 

I always thought NAGA was the North American Grappling Association...
