The Allentown Morning Call today ran an article about the Neshaminy HIgh student newspaper’s decision to no longer will use the name “Redskins” when referring to Bucks County sports teams.
High school students are showing us the way. I find it hard to believe that in 2013 a NFL team still refers to itself as the Washington Redskins. This is not about “political correctness,” an overused term. This is about respect for native Americans.
Although I don’t often post about NFL teams in this blog, if I do have occasion to refer to the Washington team, I will call it “the Washington NFL team that never wins Superbowls.”
