The Post's role in the Redskins' debate
In her Feb. 14 Sports column ["It's time grown-ups talk sense into Snyder"], Sally Jenkins lamented that she is powerless to change the fact that the name of the Washington football team is a racial slur: "Plenty of important people have raised the issue of the team's name, from Mayor Vincent Gray to several columnists at this paper to WRC anchor Jim Vance. But none of them have the power to make [owner Daniel] Snyder or the NFL uncomfortable."
