New owners of NFL's Washington Commanders have found support from a Soros foundation-funded group that's been fighting to remove Native American images nationwide. Now, other groups are pushing back.
The Commanders organization later clarified that the individual did not speak for the team.
"This whole group is out there banning names and images. That's how you erase a culture." — NAGA's Eunice Davidson, Dakota Sioux Victories by these DAs have been followed by increased crime and a decreased quality of life in several cities, hurting minority communities the most, critics note and the data support.
"The use of unsanctioned themed sports mascots perpetuates harm and dehumanizes our citizens." — National Congress of American Indians William Henry"Lone Star" Dietz, the first Redskins head coach. Dietz played football with Jim Thorpe at Carlisle Indian School in Pennsylvania and was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame as a coach in 2012.
Davidson of NAGA, meanwhile, said that the new owners of the Washington's NFL franchise refuse to speak to her group. Great Falls, Montana, resident Donald Wetzel Sr. holds an autographed Washington Redskins football on June 27, 2014, in Great Falls, Montana. Wetzel, a member of the Blackfeet nation, is proud of the Washington Redskins logo that his father Walter designed in the 1960s. Wetzel says that he is not offended by the Redskins name or logo.
