OPINION:
In the past I have opposed a Washington Redskins name change (“With Redskins name change looming, pressure mounts for total rebranding,” Web, July 5). However, it is clear that such a change is inevitable. Therefore, I offer two possibilities for a new moniker.
One is the Washington Red Tails, a name that would recognize and honor the African-American hero pilots of World War II. (I can see a flight of P-51 Mustangs flying over the stadium at every home game. It would be inspiring and unifying.) Alternatively, what about the Washington Navajo Code Talkers? The Navajo Code Talkers were Marine heroes who made a unique and invaluable contribution to the war effort in the Pacific theater during World War II.
