After former team owner Daniel Snyder sold the Washington Commanders, many people foolishly hoped that the new ownership group would entertain the idea of returning the longtime Redskins name to the franchise. This wishful thinking was egged on after a group known as the Native American Guardian’s Association created a petition that has nearly 131,000 signatures to bring back the glorious Redskins moniker.
But apparently, that won’t include a return to the beloved former team name. While the news is unfortunate, it really should shock no one. Returning to the political side, the person who led the purchase, Josh Harris, at least based on recent contributions, is a staunch supporter of left-wing criminal justice reform initiatives. Harris made a “six-figure donation to REFORM Alliance,” a nonprofit founded by hip-hop artist Meek Mill focused on so-called “sentencing reform.” Mills has a criminal record involving drug dealing, weapon charges, and accusations that he once pointed a gun at a police officer.
