The New York Post ran a heartwarming story yesterday headlined, “Native American group demands Commanders reinstate ‘Redskins’ name.”

The former Washington Redskins changed their name to the Washington Commanders, because cultural appropriation. But now, over 90,000 petitioners organized by the Native American Guardian’s Association have demanded that the team’s name be changed back to the culturally-appropriating original.

The petition described NAGA as a group “which strives to stop the further cancel culture against the Native American population and erase our steadfast role in American history, including serving as counselors to the Founding Fathers in their creation of the U.S. Constitution.”

The petition’s demand was simple:

At this moment in history, we are formally requesting that the team revitalize its relationship with the American Indian community by (i) changing the name back to “The Redskins” which recognizes America’s original inhabitants and (ii) using the team’s historic name and legacy to encourage Americans to learn about, not cancel, the history of

America’s tribes and our role in the founding of this Great Nation.

Personally, I found the movement to change all the teams’ names with Native American references to be the dumbest example of woke silliness ever. Great work to the NAGA Warriors who are leading the charge toward sanity, inclusivity, and American tradition.
