A Redskins-themed restaurant will soon be open at Washington Dulles International (IAD) and Ronald Reagan National Airport (DCA) thanks to the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA). The establishment, called The Washington Redskins Burgundy and Gold Restaurant, will reportedly be “accompanied by a stand-alone exhibit featuring the history of the NFL team since moving to the nation’s capital nearly eight decades ago,” according to WTOP. Chryssa Westerlund, MWAA’s marketing vice president, said the additions make sense as the Redskins have been a part of D.C. since 1937.

America just voted a sexist, racist misogynist into the top job in the country and you're surprised by this?
Rather than lie low, this team just keeps pushing its racist name. If the team were named any other racist, dehumanizing epithet, they'd never get away with it, but somehow dehumanizing Native Americans is still acceptable to far too many people in the US. Disgusting.
