WASHINGTON — Two Native American groups and a D.C. Council member are asking for a memorial marker to the first owner of the Washington Redskins be removed from RFK Stadium and a section renamed at FedEx Field.
“(George Preston) Marshall’s bigotry extended well beyond his abhorrent decision to use a racial slur as his team’s name. During his day, he was one of America’s most infamous and outspoken segregationists — and his legacy is marred by discriminatory words and deeds directed at people of color,” the letter from the Oneida Nation and the National Congress of American Indians reads. D.C. Councilmember David Grosso, who is also calling to remove a statue of Albert Pike from Judiciary Square, signed onto the letter.
Marshall was the last NFL team owner to integrate his football team in the 1960s. He was inducted in the Football Hall of Fame in 1963.

When will it end?
These nut bags are absolutely relentless in their obsurdness! Do they even see how flippin' crazy they are? Some reporters on the fake news channels were even connecting the events in Barcelona to Charlottesville.
Charlottesville was a lone lunatic; Barcelona was a pre-planned, coordinated ISLAMIC TERRORIST ATTACK.
it's no wonder the white-nationalists are growing their numbers. These left-wing nuts are really starting to piss us off !!
F them.
Someone has to say that.
These marshmallows need a safe space, too??? (it's getting crowded in there)
Keep cheering.
The politicians won't stand up to these liberal ass wipes because they're afraid they won't get re-elected. A lot of good they're doing now, nothing
4:34 When will it end? Hell it's just getting started,their goal is total destruction of the entire country and if the people on the right don't learn to work together those bastards will win.
