THE REDSKINS ARE BACK, BABY! Well, at least their logo is: Washington Commanders Agree To Un-Cancel Redskins Logo.
Washington Commanders managing partner Josh Harris and the NFL Commanders ownership group have agreed to un-cancel the Redskins (the iconic Blackfoot chief logo) history.
In a post on Facebook by Republican Montana Sen. Steve Daines, the Congressman wrote that “The censorship of the former Commanders logo was a classic case of woke gone wrong. I applaud the Commanders & the NFL for their commitment to never censor the logo again.”
“And for working with the [Walter ‘Blackie’] Wetzel family to restore the logo to a place of prominence and honor to benefit Indian Country,” he added mentioning the “Native American artist who used Blackfoot chief John Two Guns White Calf as the inspiration for the logo the NFL team used for almost 50 years.”
In 2020, the team announced it was removing Redskins from its name and two years later announced the national professional football team would be called the Washington Commanders.
The name change came about from pressure from the cancel culture mob following the death of George Floyd and those who claimed that the term was racist and offensive to Native Americans.
More fallout from the woke revolution of 2020, where back on planet earth that year: Poll: Less Than 30 Percent Of Americans Say Redskins Should Change Their Name.
However, much like Kamala Harris’s craziness the previous year, team Biden couldn’t or wouldn’t risk alienating their ultra-woke core constituency; in 2020, CNN broadcast a photo supplied by the Biden campaign with the Redskins’ logo Photoshopped out of Hunter Biden’s ski cap in a 1970s-era photo with where he was being held by Joe. “[Joseph Wulfsohn of Fox News] reported that the Biden campaign has now admitted editing the photo and blamed it on copyright concerns. According to a CNN source cited by Washingtonian magazine, ‘We received this picture and many others from the Biden campaign, and any additional inquiries should be sent their way. Future airings will include the original photo.’”
