Honoring Heritage Over Woke Erasure – RedState
This is a story on John Two Two Guns White Calf, the last chief of the Blackfeet. His proud face was immortalized on the Washington Redskins logo, designed by Blackie Wetzel to honor the Amerindian force. For decades, from 1972 to 2019, this emblem flambé in the fields of the NFL, a tribute to the “Indian country” which aroused the pride of fans and indigenous communities. In addition, it was the only skin color in addition to the white that noted the original racist owner George Preston Marshall tolerated. Now, President Donald Trump is taking a stand, demanding that Washington commanders are abandoning their nickname and bringing the names of the Redskins – or facing a “restriction” on their new brilliant stadium agreement at RFK. Trump also called for a return from the name of the Indians in Cleveland instead of being called the Cleveland Guardians baseball team.
He is right: it is time to restore the names of the Redskins, to reject the waking erasure of our heritage and to honor the inheritance of John Two Guns White Veau. The names of the Redskins is not only a brand; It is a symbol of American grain and native pride. The President and the Council of the Black-Feet tribe signed a letter supporting the return of the logo, calling that a tribute to their revered chief. Senator Steve Daines, a Republican from Montana, is suitable, noting that the logo honors the “Indian country” and could even finance Native American sports initiatives. More than 150,000 fans have signed a petition to bring the name back, and a Washington Post 2024 survey shows that 58% of Washington fans prefer Redskins to commanders.

From the heroism Grid of Joe Theismann to Jason Buck, an Amerindian Super Bowl champion who begs Trump to fight for the name, the heritage of the Redskins is deeply deep. It is not nostalgia – it is a clamor for common sense in a country that cherishes its past. However, the owner of commanders Josh Harris clings to his new “incredible” name, saying that this reflects the military culture of DC and the tenacity of players like Jayden Daniels.
Give me a break. The “commanders” resemble a brand of generic toilet paper prepared in a corporate conference room, not a nod to the fierce spirit of John Two Guns White Chalf. The Harris excuse is a fragile dodge, ignoring the cultural boost of the erasure of a logo that the natives defend as the fight against the native American Guardians association to preserve.
Trump wants the awakened football names left:

The 2020 name change, caused by the company’s pressure and a racial hysteria summer, was not progress – it was, as Daines said, “Woke went wrong”. He removed a tribute to the native heritage under the guise of sensitivity, leaving fans and players like Scott Turner, an old defensive back of the Redskins, feeling betrayed. Turner went to X to declare: “I played in the NFL and I was drafted by the Washington Redskins. Not “the Washington football team” or “commanders”.

Not “the Washington football team” or “commanders”. @Potus right. It’s time to bring the names of the Redskins back. pic.twitter.com/xa9mokpxhj

Washington Legendary RB John Riggins of the University of Kansas, as well as from Seneca, Kansas (alias the Indian country, formerly installed by Kansa or also named the KAW tribe before other tribes entered by the placement to the Kansas booking areas), “said:” I feel completely disregarded. Commanders ”, on his podcast in 2022.
President Trump is therefore right. Trump’s threat to block the stadium agreement is a master stroke, a populist blow in the swollen establishment that Harris represents. He is not only fighting for a name; It is held with the “massive numbers” of the Amerindians and fans who believe that their inheritance is systematically erased.
As he wrote on Truth Social, “The times are different now that they were three or four years ago. We are a country of passion and common sense. ” He has a point. The names of the Redskins, linked to the inheritance of John Two Two Guns White, is not an insult – it is a badge of honor. The restoring could even channel income towards Amerindian causes, as Daines suggests, transforming a cultural victory into practice. This fight is bigger than a football team. It is a question of recovering our inheritance from the claws of awakened bureaucrats who think that they know better than the black feet tribe or the fans in the stands.
Bringing back the names of the Redskins will honor the white calf of John Two Two Guns, would unite a fractured fans base and would remind us that the strength of America lies in its traditions. Trump directs the charge, supported by native voices and everyday people who refuse to leave the Indians and also the American history to be erased. The ball is in the Harris courtyard. Let’s see if he has the courage to do what is good.
