Team owner Daniel Snyder has refused to change the name of the Redskins on the grounds that it was created to honor — not insult — Native Americans. But, last month, an 81-year-old newspaper clipping from The Hartford Courant surfaced, refuting his argument entirely. “The fact that we have in our head coach, Lone Star Dietz, an Indian, together with several Indian players, has not, as may be suspected, inspired me to select the name Redskins” read the article, noting the team name was never meant as a “badge of honor,” as the current management has tried to suggest.
