Years ago I gave the name some thought and did some research. Some research on the word and some research on George Preston Marshall and the notion that the name was chosen to 'honor' Native Americans seemed incongruent.
I thought the organization/owner missed a real opportunity to get in front of the issue.
When I made my decision I noticed that some of the team's own on air personalities called the team Burgundy and Gold or Washington and followed suit.
