The name "Washington Redskins" is racially derogatory and has no place in today's culture. For decades, Native Americans have asked the team to choose a different name, and in recent months the movement has gained momentum as major media outlets like the San Francisco Chronicle and Slate Magazine (owned by The Washington Post Company) have decided to stop using the term, as has award-winning Sports Illustrated NFL writer Peter King. Now is the time.
That's why I signed a petition to Daniel Snyder, Owner, Washington Redskins, which says:
"Change the derogatory name of the Washington football team."
