Native American Group Threatens Boycott if NFL Doesn’t Readopt ‘Redskins,’ Seeks Pow-Wow with New Team Leadership – By Craig Bannister (CNS News) / Aug 11, 2023
A Native American group is threatening to go on the warpath if the NFL’s Washington football team doesn’t readopt its iconic “Redskins” name and punt the “Commanders” moniker it assumed in 2020 in response to coercion from the cancel-culture crowd.
On Monday, the Native American Guardian’s Association (NAGA) sent a letter to the new leadership of the team, condemning the “cancel culture” that pressured the previous owner to drop “Redskins.”
The group has also posted a petition on Change.org, calling for restoration of “Redskins.” By Thursday, more people (75,000) had signed the petition than can be seated in the team’s home stadium of FedEx Field (63,000).
While the letter from NAGA Founder and President Eunice Davidson requests a pow-wow with the team’s chiefs, the NFL organization has repeated ignored requests for a meeting.
