Touchy subject but a good read, I'll transcribe it for our non-WaPo people.



I would hope we can all acknowledge the logo isn't coming back. But I also hope they can resolve the tension between the team and the families so we can move forward with the stadium legislation for DC.

There’s a load of pathos and irony in this sad tale — on the one hand, stop offending Native Americans by using them as mascots, and on the other, honor the pride and dignity of Native Americans embodied in Blackie Wentzel’s great depiction of John Two Guns White Calf. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.

I have no problem with the football team making amends with the Wetzels . . . lord knows Snyder f’ed up that situation along with everything else . . . What I have a problem with is the Montana Senator making this molehill into a mountain that he seems prepared to die on. Time to step back, senator, and let the RFK site play out for OUR team. Go pester the Broncos or whoever you root for.

Snyder F'ed this up big time. His self aggrandizement and his belief he could do no wrong in the eyes of the Redskins fans lead to him losing any support he had. Glad to see the current ownership trying to rectify the wrongs of the previous ownership.

Yeah we're never gonna make everyone happy. I just want the stadium legislation to move forward and it's also nice to see current leadership try to honor the families and make amends.
