Jemele Hill on Washington Redskins: ‘There’s No Doubt It’s a Racial Slur, It’s Been This Way Forever’

EXCERPT:

HILL: “And getting to Washington’s football team, this has been a long standing issue. There’s no doubt that this is a racial slur, it’s been this way forever. And Daniel Snyder is just doing this because the public opinion and for that matter the money has shifted. He is not making a moral decision, he’s make an economic one. As you mentioned, all the sponsors were threatening to pull out. You also have three minority owners who don’t want anything to do with the franchise. And as long as that continues, and that pressure is applied to Daniel Snyder, he will have no choice but to change this name.”
