Former Washington Redskins Players Calls Team Logo Racist
- 6 years ago
The Washington Redskins nickname has been generating controversy for years and now a former player is weighing in on the topic.
Many view the nickname as racist, as the term has historically been used as a slur towards Native American Indians.
A.J. Francis recently got in on that criticism after leaving Washington for the New York Giants in free agency.
In a recent post on Instagram, Francis included the hashtag, "#AndYourLogoIsRacist."
Despite backlash from players and spectators alike, Washington owner Daniel Snyder appears obstinate that the name will not change
