New D.C. football stadium fuels movement to save Redskins, honor cancelled Blackfeet chief, expose woke racism and fraud
Natives overwhelmingly rejected war on Redskins but were ignored, now gain allies, opportunity for racial justice
Editors note: Thug Adams declines to use the Washington D.C. NFL team woke name in respect to victims of the Washington Massacre. The racist attack cancelled, slandered, dehumanized, dishonored or desecrated lives of a half dozen Native American icons. Our tribute to Washington Massacre victims will be released soon.
Plans for a sprawling new $2 billion football stadium in Washington D.C. offer hope that Native American heritage can be saved from cancel-culture genocide, say leaders of a growing movement seeking racial justice.
“It’s time to end the madness and end decades of attacks on Native American culture,” Eunice Davidson, a Dakota Sioux, Redskins fan and co-founder of the Native American Guardians Association (NAGA), told Thug Adams this week.
“It’s only a matter of time before American Indians are erased from history. This is our best chance yet to finally have our voices heard and to finally expose the racism and corruption of cancel culture.”
The NFL team known as the Redskins for 87 years hopes to build a spectacular palace of pigskin on the footprint of the old Robert F. Kennedy Stadium in Washington D.C. The site is on the banks of the Anacosta River, spiritual home of the Anacostine people.
The Redskins called RFK Stadium home from 1961 to 1997, winning three Super Bowls during that time. They’ve played home games in Landover, Maryland since leaving D.C.
A return to the nation’s capital puts favorable political winds in the sails of pro-Native American groups fighting to expose and stop racist cancel-culture atrocities.
The Republican-controlled Congress has authority over the District of Columbia and the power to shape the deal. The newly empowered Trump Administration brings a staunch anti-woke agenda to the White House.

NAGA has asked Congress to make approval for the new football stadium contingent upon an agreement from the Washington D.C. football team to:
reclaim its Redskins identity and celebrate the warrior tradition behind the name, cancelled in 2020
honor Blackfeet chief John Two Guns White Calf, face of the franchise for 48 years, also cancelled in 2020; and
provide a forum to celebrate Native American cultures and contributions to the foundational history of the United States.
Allies in the effort include former Redskins players, Redskins fans, and political officials in Virginia and on Capitol Hill, led by Sen. Steve Daines, R-Montana.
“The time is now to save our heritage,” Jason Buck, a Native American member of the Redskins 1991 Super Bowl championship team, told Thug Adams. Buck shared his thoughts last month in a letter he wrote to President Trump.
Other former Redskins players, including team legend John Riggins, remain outspoken in their support for franchise tradition and history.
The Redskins suffered decades of withering racist attack built upon a fictional narrative of team history, launched by far-left cancel-culture hate groups, with the backing of the George Soros family and other benefactors.
The franchise, under previous ownership, succumbed to the pressure from racist hate groups and dropped the name Redskins and its White Calf portrait logo in 2020.
“White Calf was the only minority face to represent an NFL team and they cancelled him,” said NAGA co-founder, and author of “How the Redskins Got Their Name,” Andre Billeaudeaux. “The entire effort was built upon pure intellectual fraud.”
Billeaudeaux’s book details the Eastern tribe redskin battle ceremony of “braves becoming warriors” by painting themselves red.
“How the Redskins Got Their Name” was banned by Amazon, said the author.

The desecration of Blackfeet chief Two Guns White Calf is the most shocking testament to the racism and fraud used to attack indigenous culture.
White Calf was a champion of Native American causes, from Blackfeet land in Montana to halls of power in Washington D.C. He was so prominent in American life that his death in 1934 earned an obituary in the New York Times.
His image was portrayed on the US Mint’s famous Indian head nickel. He became the face of the Redskins in 1972, the effort led by fellow Blackfeet Blackie Wetzel and championed by American Indians across the country.
Then Two Guns White Calf was cancelled.
His life, legacy and likeness were erased from history by the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI). The elite unit of cancel-culture assassins is funded by federal tax dollars and the Soros family Open Society Foundation, according to the group’s own claims. The group demands billions of dollars from Congress each year to address social crises in Native communities that never seem to improve.
The NCAI did find the cause of the crises, though. It incited nationwide anger against the Redskins with a blistering but deeply flawed 2013 report about sports mascots. It blamed mascots for inciting racism and feeding social ills, supported by dubious data, and woven around a fabricated team history.
The NCAI published the report as a political weapon and not as a serious account of real issues. There is plenty of proof the report was fraudulent and it’s easy to find.
The 29-page report, for example, included a 3,500-word history of the Redskins franchise with a curious oversight.
The NCAI couldn’t find the name of the man seen on team helmets, on the team’s homefield and beamed into millions of homes every autumn Sunday for nearly half a century.
The NCAI history of the Redskins franchise failed to mention the man who was, um, the face of the Redskins franchise for 48 years.
Blackfeet chief John Two Guns White Calf should have been hailed as a role model for all American children, of all cultures. But heroes and role models don’t fit the racist victim narrative.
Poof!
Chief White Calf’s life story was extinguished. He no longer existed. Media companies dutifully saluted and followed orders.
One report after another, regurgitated the “racist mascot” message. Few, maybe none, mentioned the Redskins “mascot” was a real man. With a real name. Nobody asked. Or nobody cared. They mocked him instead. They called the Blackfeet chief a “caricature.”
Even worse than cancelled. Chief White Calf was dehumanized.
Chief White Calf's own family finally destroyed the woke narrative in September 2024.
"The fans want him back and we want him back," Thomas White Calf, a great nephew of the 20th-century American icon, told Thug Adams founder Kerry J. Byrne in another media outlet, the family’s first-ever interview about the fate of their patriarch.
“I’m proud of him. The Blackfeet are proud of him,” the nephew added.
"The fans want him back and we want him back. I’m proud of him. The Blackfeet are proud of him.” - Thomas White Calf
The White Calf family’s statement provided a humiliating rebuke of the racist cancel culture narrative and incited a viral firestorm on social media.
Among many examples: Music influencer @Rap shared the interview with its 12-million-plus followers on Instagram and included a poll that drew more than 220,000 responses:
97% favored the Redskins
3% supported woke-approved name
Fans remain overwhelmingly hostile to the team’s new woke-approved name. Indigenous Americans never opposed the old name.
Native Americans support for the Redskins name and image was 90% or better in every major published poll conducted before 2020.
The entire war on the Redskins, and on Native American images in sports and public culture, was motivated by nefarious political purpose. In Minnesota, the fight to remove the Native American on the state flag ended in victory for Jihad.

The team’s name and image were never racist. Natives were never offended.
“The racist outrage was perpetrated by woke radicals who want to wipe out Native American history, remove our faces, desecrate our heroes, pretend we never existed,” said Davidson of NAGA.
“We want the NFL franchise to honor our wishes and honor our history. We want Congress to amplify our voices. We want to celebrate our heritage, not bury it. We want to share our stories, not erase them. We want to see our faces as part of the fabric of American society.”
