Granddaughter Of Redskins' Founder: 'They Need To Change The Name' | ThinkProgress: The granddaughter of George Preston Marshall, the man who founded the football franchise that now calls Washington home, has joined the list of people who think that it is time for the team to find a new name.
“They need to change the name,” Jordan Wright, who said she was Marshall’s granddaughter, told Leesburg Today columnist Leonard Shapiro recently (via Dan Steinberg). “In this day and age, it’s just not right.”
The Oneida Indian Nation, which has challenged the name with a public campaign against it over the last year, issued a statement applauding Wright.
