Everyone is aware of the Washington Redskins team name controversy. The consensus is that the word “redskins” is derogatory to the Native American Indians. Basically, it is called a racist connotation.
But, this is not the first time the Washington franchise has been considered racist. In fact, back in the day the Redskins were quite proud of being racist.
From the inception of the National Football League (NFL) there were black players and even a black head coach. However, there was a time-period when the league was devoid of any black players; many called it a “secret blacklist” period.
