It was in a USA
Today May 9th, 2013 article. Dan Snyder, majority owner of the
Washington football franchise, made it very clear regarding changing the name: “"We'll never change the name,"
he said. "It's that simple. NEVER — you can use caps."
One thing I
have learned in my life journey – never say never.
Now that the name
thing is out of the way, I’m sort of coming home. Not that I deserted my team, but
I could never fully embrace them the way I used to from my childhood days.
Before I knew that the term was encyclopedically racist. I know how hurtful and
offensive words could be.
Now don’t get
me wrong. I won’t be turning in my Raven membership card at Club 29. But even
my B-More boyz know (and they make sure I don’t forget) who my #1 team is.
Having said
that, I can come back to my roots. It doesn’t matter that we have only two
playoff appearances in the past 20 years. After resolving the other current
issues, we will able to concentrate on winning football games.
I can even
possibly buy a hat.
