F. L. Franchise made headlines on july 3rd when it announced it would open a thorough review on the teams name the announcement is long overdue after many years of native american groups petitioning Team Owner Dan Snyder to do away with the offensive name now there is an official decision on the future of the washington. Redskins artie is regina hamm has the story. Its been 87 years in the making but the Washington Redskins are retiring their name and logo ending a 10 day old review by the organization in a Statement Released by the team they said quote we are announcing the retiring the redskins name and logo upon completion of this review Team Owner Dan Snyder and coach ron rivera are working closely to develop a new name and design approach that will enhance the standing of our proud tradition rich franchise and inspire our sponsors fans and community for the next 100 years the Team Nickname and logo has long been denounced by native american groups as an ethnic slur but some defenders of the name point out that the logo was designed by a native american in 1901 there was no surprise to the decision for change especially after reports surfaced that snyder already was in talks with the n. F. L. About finding a new name for the squad snyder and the franchise were under more pressure to change a nickname after protest against social injustice began following the death of george floyd famously snyder resisted changing the name for years telling usa today in 2013 he would never make that move however pressure from top sponsors and investors pushed the decision including fed ex threatening to end its naming rights sponsorship of the team stadium losing the financial backing would cost the team over 620000000000. 00 now the name will be removed from the stadium Training Facility out in virginia media guides and even the official club address 21300. 00 redskins park drive native american groups like the National Congress of American Indians celebrated the decision by the organization putting out a statement saying today is a day for all native people to celebrate we thank the generations of tribal nations leaders and activists who work for decades to make this day possible we commend the washington n. F. L. Team for eliminating a brand that disrespected demeaned and syrah type all native people and we called all other sports teams in Corporate Branch retire all caricature of native people that they use as mascots we are not mascots we are native people citizens of more than 500 tribal nations who have stood strong. Millennia and overcome countless challenges to reach this Pivotal Moment in time we can help transform america into the just equitable and compassionate country our children deserve. Now manila the team is hoping that they will be able to pick a new name and logo all before the start of the season when they face off against their fellow n. F. C. Rival Philadelphia Eagles on september 13th that certainly a lot of controversy there regina hand thank you for filing that report. All right so joining us to discuss further on this Washington Redskins controversy bowing to corporate sponsors as they say rick sanchez host of news the rick sanchez so rick it appears dan snyder didnt have a change of heart because he has some sort of a conscience but rather it was because they had him in the pocketbook. Yeah in fact let me take it to the derivation of this in fact to look at the derivation of what got dan snyder here we should probably look at their vision of the word so im going to take you back are you ready lets go back in time they say 1769 it was a native american chief who met up with an english lieutenant at the time 1st time that word was ever uttered the word redskin he speaks to the lieutenant and says talk to us if any redskin do you harm this is again the chief talking to lieutenant the english lieutenant he says if so i will defend you so the 1st issue of the word apparently with someone who was a native american using the term whether he got 4 it from the other side who knows 863 and this is the one that really creates a higher and many people in the native American Community this is minnesota 863. 00 a bounty was set for any dead redskin bring us a dead redskin word redskin and we will pay you 200. 00 was the official the official. Put on the head of any of these redskins as they were called back then 1933 the boston braves a Football Team decides to change its name to the boston red skins that team the boston red skins part of me yeah the boston redskins that moved to washington 3 years later i think i was about 936 and officially becomes the Washington Redskins and here is now the one that really addresses your point when the you ready 2013 dan snyder utters the following words we will never change our name Never Never Never he goes on to say quote put that in caps well. Guess what hes changing the name of the change in the tune because rick money talks but where do you suppose this leaves all the other pro sports teams that have you know native american symbols groups like the Atlanta Braves or what about College Teams like your home state Florida State seminoles. Yeah i know theres a real question about how far this is going to go but theres also a question here i think about what this really represents i mean look. I think if you were to ask most native americans what they would say is tell you what keep the name redskin and give us back our dignity give us back our pride somehow give us back many of the things that this country took from our people because that would be more important you know theyve recently done some polling on this and more often than not they have found the majority of native americans say they dont care they really just dont care its not that big a deal for them of course thats not to minimize those who do and you and i both know that common sense will tell you because were both married that whenever someone disagrees or feels. At about something you know whats it take to do why not just go ahead and say look i get it im sorry lets go a different direction right which i think is what people are saying here but if you actually look at the polling the most recent polling the 1st ones and 2016 that seem to show that almost 90 percent said we just dont really dont care or more recent polling apparently by the Washington Post found that the majority still think its not that big a deal i think for them there are other things that actually affect their lives that are more important than the name of a Football Team oh absolutely when i started out in Television News i was in a small market as most of us start wreck and i was near a certain native tribe in arizona and they would often tell me the more pressing things are disease Heart Disease Liver Disease their education at the reservation that needed to be handled not this controversy about you know the redskins name but here when you know Big Companies like nike threaten or not threaten actually pull your mercs off the shelves what are you going to do. Its a its a its a capitalistic decision and in the end i cant help but think in these situations look as a hispanic i cant stand hispanic heritage month what the hell is that all of a sudden oh youre going to care for a month or black History Month these supposed throwaways or give away to certain groups whether theyre asian or hispanic you know gay or whatever they are they seem almost empty to be the more important thing would be create to to actually create a dialogue to find out what it is that the 2 groups either have in common or that they dont have in common that they need to work out but instead we get platitudes like well change the name or hispanic heritage month or gratian week. At cetera et cetera dan snyder should. A large sum of money and. Thats where i think Rick Dan Snyder should donate a large sum of money to some native american groups and maybe pay for some of their schooling and fix some of the problems within the community as a thank you for having made him a the a billionaire at this point we dont know we got a check. To do this because he is a capitalist and for no other reason and you nailed it with the 1st comment you threw at me when you talk to me and thats you know it is what it is well well leave it right there my friend rick sanchez always appreciate your 2 cents.
