The beginning of my love for football goes back to when I was seven years old. I was spending time with my grandmother, Caletha Vick. I never knew anything about the game until one Sunday afternoon when she turned on the television because the Redskins were playing. They were my Uncle Casey's favorite team-and my grandmother's favorite too. After watching the game with them, I was hooked.
Simply put, 'Redskins' is offensive to Indian people. Whether it is considered offensive by non-Indians is not the issue. It is offensive to us.
Introducing a bill to require a name change for the Washington professional football team:
I grew up in the D.C. area, and I used to wear a Redskins jersey just walking around. I just had kind of a bowl haircut for a long time and no sense of style or personal hygiene. But the main thing was the haircut. You know, when you see a haircut of yourself from around 12 or 13, it's rough. I also had really bad acne.
Joe Gibbs helped define what the Washington Redskins stand for - integrity, hard work, determination, winning and championships.

Rehab is amazing. It reminds me of football camp. Kind of like the Washington Redskins camp I went to as a kid.
I get asked one question a lot: 'What celebrity encounter would render you starstruck?' The answer is simple - anyone who's ever strapped on a Redskins helmet, much less coached them to three Super Bowls.
I know I'm the No. 1 quarterback for the Washington Redskins, and that's all that matters in my heart. That's all I wanted. I wanted a team that wanted me, and I found that.
Kirk Cousins is the future of the Washington Redskins.
If you could, say, draw it up, I'd be a Redskin the rest of my career.
In his time both on the field and on the sideline, Jack Pardee will forever be a part of the Washington Redskins' legacy.

Having this interest here in the Redskins is the chief hobby of my life.
As long as I own this football team and long after I'm gone, they will always be the Washington Redskins.
In my eyes, Joe Gibbs could do no wrong.
My role models weren't holding steering wheels and mashing gears on Sunday. They wore burgundy and gold with names like Art Monk and Darrell Green.
The most difficult owner for me was the late George Marshall of Washington.
You know what, as I look back on that year, I was very excited on joining the Washington Redskins.
Sammy Baugh embodied all we aspire to at the Washington Redskins. He was a competitor in everything he did and a winner. He was one of the greatest to ever play the game of football, and one of the greatest the Redskins ever had.
