Redskins Web Skin Extension

The word “Redskins” is racist. Yet our nation’s capital plays host to an NFL organization that uses the term as its team name — the Washington Redskins. It’s offensive. It’s unnecessary. And it needs to be replaced.

That’s where the Redskins Web Skin comes in. Simply install the extension to replace the term “Redskins” with a more dignified term on the web. And then sign the petition to make Dan Snyder replace the term with something more noble on the field.
