Far too many Black people have had ZERO issues with the name. For the many things that Snyder has been criticized for, it has never been by large swaths of Black people, for the name of the team. He's never faced considerable pressure from within so I can believe he's never even had to FAKE being conflicted.

pathetic but not surprising that a few power moves by his major partners are getting this convo moving more substantially than it ever has before. a sobering reminder that folks will do the right thing for self-interest long before they do it out of integrity.
