Here are three things the United States has:
1. An indefensible history of slaughtering Native Americans.
2. A holiday called Thanksgiving wherein we celebrate some of our earliest slaughterers, albeit not for their slaughtering.
3. A capital, Washington DC.
The football team in Washington DC has an offensive, racist name; a slur against Native Americans.
This Thanksgiving—the holiday that for many represents “hundreds of years of genocide and oppression against Native Americans”—that football team—the one with the awful racist name offensive to Native Americans—sent out the following tweet.
From our family to yours, have a very safe and Happy #Thanksgiving. #HappyThanksgiving #HTTR pic.twitter.com/TZ0fBzbEm2

Dan Snyder: Just as the pilgrims intended.
