Irony, anyone? That’s what Donna Fann-Boyle wants to know.

In an NFL consumed by fiery debate over players protesting injustice by taking a knee during the national anthem, one team will come onto the field in Philadelphia on Monday bearing a name and logo that she and other American Indians consider deeply racist — the Redskins.

When Washington faces the Eagles before a national TV audience on Monday Night Football, Fann-Boyle will be among the demonstrators outside Lincoln Financial Field, demanding an end to what they say is a destructive slur.

“They can’t see how hypocritical it is,” said the Neshaminy woman, who is of Choctaw and Cherokee heritage.
