Fans of the team defend the name and logo on the basis of history and tradition. But a half century earlier, diehard fans were using history and tradition to defend a system of racial segregation in the South. American Nazis paraded outside D.C. Stadium carrying signs reading Keep Redskins White. Just like then, current defenders of tradition blast liberals for interfering in an issue that is none of their business. Traditionalists claim the nickname honors Native Americans. But the name is no more ennobling than slurs for Jews, Irish, Japanese or other Asians. cnn/2013/11/14/opinion/smith-jfk-redskins/index.html?hpt=hp_t4
