RG III and the R-Word

RG III and the R-Word

“Before he lay in a hospital bed, convalescing after reconstructive knee surgery, I thought that Robert Griffin III would be the perfect person to take on a problem that’s been plaguing Washington for decades: our football team’s ill-considered, objectionable, offensive, racist, totally unacceptable name.”

— “Only RGIII can make the Redskins change their name. Here’s why he won’t.” Mike Wise, Washington Post
