A marble monument for George Preston Marshall, the founder of the Washington football team who was against integrating the team, was removed from outside RFK Stadium on Friday morning, according to the Washington Post's Rick Maese.
Images taken by Ward 6 ANC Commissioner Denise Krepp show that the statue was defaced overnight with the phrase, "Change the name" spray-painted on it.
Marshall was awarded the NFL franchise in 1932 that initially as known as the Boston Braves. Soon after he changed the club's nickname to what it is now, and by 1937, he moved the team to Washington D.
