The Washington Redskins are removing former owner George Preston Marshall from their Ring of Fame and striking all references to him on their website.
A spokesman confirmed the decisions Wednesday, saying Marshall’s name already has been removed from the history wall at the team’s training facility in Ashburn, Va. The spokesman said the Ring of Fame is removing Marshall’s name from its stadium in Landover, Md., and the process to alter the website is underway.
“I don’t have any feelings against it,” Marshall’s granddaughter, Jordan Wright, told the Associated Press in a phone interview. “My sense has always been if anybody’s offended by these things, then that’s OK with me.
