Jerry Jones doesn’t have a problem with the Washington NFL teams nickname.
During his weekly appearance on 105.3 The Fan’s New School With Shan & RJ, Jones said the Redskins should keep their nickname, because it is one of pride.
“I know that it’s not in any way meant to denigrate the Redskins, or the Washington team, or what it represents,” said Jones. “It’s like the Cowboys to me. I think we should all feel that way about it. It’s a great part of the tradition of the league. And I don’t want to be insensitive, but I sure think that if the Redskins and Snyder want to keep that, they should keep it.”
Jones says he understand the public outrage over the nickname in todays volatile climate.
“I do understand the times we are in. We are in changing times relative to sensitivity. I have all that you could possibly ask for in my thoughts as well. I think it’s pretty pointed that this name is one of pride; this name is one of competition; this name is one of a lot of great things that have happened with this franchise. It should be looked at that way.”
