Mark Trahant, editor of Indian Country Today, explains why Washington’s NFL team name was offensive. Speaking on Sportshour, the member of Idaho’s Shoshone-Bannock Tribe explained that the team’s nickname and mascot “came from an era when natives were sold by body parts.” He also recalled being told by his father as a six-year-old boy not to use the ‘R word,’ and believes all US sports franchises that use Native American words will eventually have to make changes to their names.
