Despite mounting opposition, Snyder has shown no willingness to change the name, and he even told of USA Today that he would never change it when asked about it in May.
We will never change the name of the team. As a lifelong Redskins fan, and I think that the Redskins Cheap Giants Jerseys Sale fans understand the great tradition and what it's all about and what it means, so we feel pretty fortunate to be just working on next season.
We'll never change the name. It's that simple. NEVER you can use caps.
In a , Snyder acknowledged the opposition to the name, but leaned on the history and heritage behind the name.
I respect the opinions of those who disagree. I want them to know that I do hear them, and I will continue to listen and learn. But we cannot ignore our 81-year history, or the strong feelings Cheap Authentic Ravens Jerseys Sale Giants Jerseys For Cheap of most of our fans as well as Native Americans throughout the country. After 81 years, the team name Redskins continues to hold the memories and meaning of where we came from, who we are, and who we want to be in the years to come.
We are Redskins Nation...and we owe it to our fans and coaches and players, past and present, to preserve that heritage.
While some may feel like Snyder's unwavering stance is a slap in the face to those who are offended, Costas doesn't believe that Snyder or those who support it are racist by any means.
There s no reason to believe that owner Daniel Snyder, or any official or player from his team, harbors animus towards Native Americans, or chooses to disrespect them. This Cheap Authentic Ravens Jerseys On Sale Cheap Giants Jerseys On Sale Authentic Giants Jerseys Sale is undoubtedly also true of the vast majority of those who don t think twice about the longstanding moniker. And in fact, as best could be determined, even a majority of Native Americans say they are not offended.
Should Dan Snyder change the Washington Redskins' nickname?
