In today's Redskins news update, Chicago Bears wideout and D.C. native Josh Morgan believes that the Washington Redskins should remain just that - the Washington Redskins.
Morgan sees the Redskins name as a source of pride, because of how it how it ties into his own childhood, along with the identities of many people living in the area.
He also spent the last two years of his NFL career playing with the Redskins - proudly displaying their logo every Sunday.
Per Rich Campbell of the Chicago Tribune, Morgan believes that the tradition of the Redskins name should continue to live on in Washington:
"Me personally, I'm a Washingtonian," Morgan stated, via Campbell's article on Wednesday night. "I like things to be the way they were because I want to be able to tell my son that, yeah, I played for the Washington Redskins and the history about the Washington Redskins and show them who my favorite receiver was — the Art Monks, the Darrell Greens, the Brian Mitchells. I want to give him the history, whether I'm there anymore or not."
"I was born and raised in Washington, D.C., so I want him to know, as I was told growing up, all the history about true Washingtonians. You just respect your life and you appreciate everything around so much more because people who aren't really from there are people that aren't walking the streets of D.C., not really understanding the true history about every building in D.C., every high school. Every school has a sense of history. I just want to be able to tell my son the history of the Washington Redskins."
