Further suggestions for renaming the Redskins
Founder & Editor in Chief
Regarding the Feb. 14 letters to the editor “What to name the Redskins?“:
I was born and raised in Maryland and have grown up a Washington football fan. I will be okay with a new logo to continue the tradition of Washington football. It’s long past time to do what is right in spite of the potential loss of revenue, however significant, for what is a very rich institution. History remembers and salutes those who do the right thing and vilifies those who tolerate the wrong, especially if it appears to be for the sake of profit.
