While the effort is commendable, it’s also an obvious attempt at misdirection to take pressure off the team over their offensive namesake.

Why not just leave it at that? Why try to stir up more fake outrage by writing an idiotic article about how Snyder is attempting to "divert attention" from the "racist team name" by addressing Native Americans' real challenges? Snyder's doing more to help the Native Americans than probably anyone from Yahoo or The Wire has ever done in their whole life for
anyone in need. Instead of wasting his time writing this article, Mr. Brian Feldman should have called Snyder and asked how he could help with the foundation; then he'd actually be doing some good.
And this quote just makes me sob: “[Snyder] can cry about high rates of suicides but he doesn’t begin to understand how he’s contributing to that and that this is a real matter of life and death,” she told ThinkProgress." Really? So instead of poverty, lack of education, or some other problem Native Americans face, you're going to blame the name of a football team for high suicide rates? You know what? I
totally understand that.
