What forces – historical and contemporary – led to the change, both the use of this name and logo and the refusal of the owners and supporters to want to change the teams’ name and logo for so long?

Discussion post question:
Is it true that sticks and stones may break your bones, but names will never hurt you? In “Redskins: Insult and
Brand” (pp. 554-562), C. Richard King clearly hoped that the Washington Football Team’s owners would one
day change the team’s name and its logo. They did – in July 2020. As recently as October 2020, the team
announced that “Washington Football Team” would remain the team’s name through the 2021 season.
What forces – historical and contemporary – led to the change, both the use of this name and logo and the
refusal of the owners and supporters to want to change the teams’ name and logo for so long? What current
conversation do you see in the news regarding this ongoing controversy? Do you see any logical fallacies, as
described in Chapter 5, being presented in the various positions people are expressing or in the article itself? Where do you stand on it, whether you are a football fan or not?
