Negotiations Over Native American Imagery Continue to Stall RFK Stadium Bill via the article from Front Office Sports that's linked in the comments.
Earlier this year, the House of Representatives passed a bill granting D.C. a 99-year lease for the land where the dilapidated RFK Stadium is still waiting to be demolished. There’s no guarantee that local lawmakers would take the next step—backing an effort to build a new NFL stadium on the land—but it would mark significant progress on a stadium site that has languished for a half-decade. The lease in the House bill also says that the stadium site could be used for parks or commercial development.
The bill passed the House with rare bipartisan support, but it still needs to pass the Senate and be signed by President Joe Biden before becoming law. It’s stuck in the Senate, where Sen. Steve Daines (R., Mont.), the ranking member of the National Parks Subcommittee, is threatening to block the bill.
Daines has said he is doing so on behalf of the descendants of Walter “Blackie” Wetzel, creator of the logo the team used from 1972 until it changed its name in 2020. Wetzel’s family is from Montana, and the Blackfeet tribe he was a member of is based in the state.
Daines, the Commanders, and the Wetzels are continuing to work out a deal. All three parties are walking the political tightrope of honoring Walter Wetzel’s contributions while not veering into divisive issues related to the use of Native American imagery. The NFL team dropped its old name and logo in 2020 after longstanding complaints that the name was a slur against Native Americans.
