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, fromÃÂ Mayor Vincent GrayÃÂ to several columnistsÃÂ at this paper toÃÂ WRC anchor Jim Vance. But none of them have the power to make [owner Daniel] Snyder or the NFL uncomfortable.”
