This is a story about John Two Guns White Calf, the last chief of the Blackfeet. His proud visage was immortalized on the Washington Redskins’ logo, designed by Blackie Wetzel to honor Native American strength. For decades, from 1972 to 2019, that emblem blazed across NFL fields, a tribute to “Indian Country” that stirred pride in fans and Native communities alike. //
The 2020 name change, driven by corporate pressure and a summer of racial hysteria, wasn’t progress—it was, as Daines put it, “woke gone wrong.” It stripped away a tribute to Native heritage under the guise of sensitivity, leaving fans and players like Scott Turner, a former Redskins defensive back, feeling betrayed. Turner took to X to declare, “I played in the NFL and was drafted by the Washington Redskins. Not the ‘Washington Football Team’ or the ‘Commanders.’" //
Bringing back the Redskins name would honor John Two Guns White Calf, unite a fractured fanbase, and remind us that America’s strength lies in its traditions. Trump’s leading the charge, backed by Native voices and everyday folks who refuse to let Indians and also American history be erased. The ball’s in Harris’s court. Let’s see if he’s got the guts to do what’s right.
