Regarding the D.C. football team, some slight progress has been made, some say. The statue of former team, who opposed desegregation and whose team was the last to integrate Black players, has been removed and the team has decided to refer to the team as the Washington Football Team for now. A battle that longtime owner Daniel Snyder has fought for years. Snyder wanted to keep the team's original name despite how some fans and indigenous locals like Chief Billy, felt.
LANDOVER, MARYLAND - JULY 13: Hand painted concrete barriers stand in the parking lot of FedEx Field, home of the NFL's Washington Redskins team July 13, 2020 in Landover, Maryland. The team announced Monday that owner Daniel Snyder and coach Ron Rivera are working on finding a replacement for its racist name and logo after 87 years.
"In the grander sense of things, it's so evaporating from people's minds that they don't even realize how racist it really is," she said.
