Abstract

"I'll never change the name of the Redskins. You have my word on that. In addition to that, it's really what the Redskins mean that's not quite out there.., what it means is tradition. It means winning. It means a great tradition for the franchise."

-Daniel Snyder (owner of the Washington Redskins).

"A long habit of not thinking a thing wrong gives it a superficial appearance of being right, and raises at first a formidable outcry in defense of custom."

-Thomas Paine.
