British Parliament To Washington Redskins: Change Your Name Or Send Another Team To London
americanews.com
The Washington Redskins have been under fire nationally for their polarizing team name, but now another country has jumped in on the controversy.
Eight months before the Redskins are scheduled to play the Cincinnati Bengals in London, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell received a letter from British Parliament members Ruth Smeeth and Ian Austin, requesting that the team either change their name or "at the minimum, send a different team to our country to represent the sport, one that does not promote a racial slur," reports ESPN.
"We were shocked to learn the derivation of the term 'R*dskin,' pertaining as it does to the historic abuse of native Americans," reads the Feb. 2 letter, according to ESPN. "The exportation of this racial slur to the UK this autumn, when the Washington team is due to play, directly contravenes the values that many in Britain have worked so hard to instill."
