They said they knew that “white men who wanted to erase our people from the Earth” were behind forcing the name change. They asked me to continue wearing Redskins shirts after a name change to help keep native people alive in the public eye. I promised them I would. I’m a man of my word. They assured me that the name is in no way offensive and there was no reason for it to change. So as an adult, I’m being one by keeping my word. I oppose cancel culture.

That's fine, but the name Redskins is not coming back. If that were an option I would be absolutely for it. You can honor the name and more importantly honor Native Americans by continuing to wear and use the Redskins emblems - I certainly will. But WFT does not do that, in fact it exemplifies the truth of cancel culture - use no thing that can possibly offend someone, be as bland and unaware as is heavenly possible, lest your choice of warriors or wolves or midgets somehow offends a new portion of the population.

It is possible to honor the Redskins, and be behind the new name of the franchise at the same time.
