Shin, Annys. "Snyder Defends Redskins Name in Emotional Letter to Fans." Washington Post. N.p., 09 Oct. 2013. Web. 16 Oct. 2013.
Summary:
Redskins Owner Daniel Snyder does not believe that the Washington Redskins should not change their name. In a letter to fans and season ticket holders, Snyder got very personal in giving reasons as to why the name should not be changed. He writes about one of his Redskins games with his father, and how happy it made him to be there and chant with him. Snyder says that the 81 year history of the team cannot be ignored. His main opposition to keeping the name is the Oneida Native American Nation. Snyder brought up my studies that showed that people were not actually offended by the name.
I believe that Snyder is one of the few that actually has a say in this. He owns the team, and I believe that he has the right, since he owns the team. Anyone involved in the NFL can have a say in this NFL endeavor.
