Spike Lee blasts Redskins' name
[WASHINGTONTIMES] Director Spike Lee said NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell should pressure Redskins owner Dan Snyder to change the team’s nickname and logo. Lee’s comments echo a renewed call for Washington to change the name in light of the nationwide protests of racial injustice. Lee made his remarks on the same day as city officials removed the statue of Redskins founding owner and segregationist George Preston Marshall on Friday.

In an interview with SiriusXM, Lee referenced the removal of Confederate leader statues as a reason the Redskins should act on changing their name.
The Cleveland Indians better go, too. And the Atlanta Braves. And the San Diego (or wherever) Padres, because they oppressed the Redskins and Indians and the Braves, as everybody knows.

#3 Spike Lee can always make an honest offer to purchase the copyrights on the Redskins official logo -- but that would involve spending his money.

#4 I wonder how Spike would feel if non-black folks were demanding the NAACP change its name because the term "Colored People" is considered racist.

Go watch his movie "Do the Right Thing" if you have any doubt.
