re: #327 HappyWarrior

It’s all about the logo being the only thing many of these people have ever known. Even my uncle who at 70 has been around for most of the Redskins history was dumbfounded when I told him about how the Redskins founder was a segregationist. Now contrast that with the people like the Maras, Rooneys, Lombardi, and other peons of early NFL history and you can show that he wasn’t a product of his times but a pure bigot who nearly had the Kennedy Interior department remove the Skins’ lease in DC after they refused to integrate.

Al Davis could be an ass at times, but his support for civil rights was touching.
