华盛顿：队徽原型酋长“双枪白犊”后人吁恢复“红皮”旧名，盼与特朗普会面
位于华盛顿特区的华盛顿橄榄球队旧名之争再起波澜。据 Daily Caller 10月20日报道，球队队徽原型人物、黑脚族酋长“双枪白犊”（Two Guns White Calf）的后人公开呼吁恢复“红皮”（Redskins）旧名与队徽，并希望与特朗普总统会面推动此事。该队徽由 Walter “Blackie” Wetzel 于1971年据酋长形象设计。
家族方面表示，球队2020年改名时从未征求过家族意见。遗产负责人 Kenneth Conway 说：“他们试图抹去我们，就好像我们从未存在过。”家族成员 Brock Conway 说：“他们根本没有征求过我们家的同意……我们就这样被抹去了。”遗产代表 Morningstar Gopher 表示，队徽曾给家族带来荣耀，他们希望酋长被铭记；她说：“我们希望能与特朗普总统会面，促成这件事。”

Washington: Descendants of Chief Two Guns White Calf, the Logo's Inspiration, Call for Restoring the “Redskins” Name
Washington — The dispute over the Washington football team's former name has resurfaced in Washington, D.C. According to an October 20 Daily Caller report, descendants of Blackfeet Chief Two Guns White Calf, the inspiration for the team's logo, have publicly called for restoring the former “Redskins” name and logo, and hope to meet with President Trump to press the case. The logo was designed in 1971 by Walter “Blackie” Wetzel, based on the chief's likeness.
The family says the team never sought its opinion when the name was changed in 2020. Estate administrator Kenneth Conway said: “They tried to erase us, as if we had never existed.” Family member Brock Conway said: “They never asked our family for consent at all … and just like that, we were erased.” Estate representative Morningstar Gopher said the logo once brought the family honor and that they hope the chief will be remembered; she said: “We hope to meet with President Trump to make this happen.”
The “Redskins” name was retired in 2020 after being criticized as offensive to Native Americans; the team is now named the Commanders, and its new stadium is expected to open in 2030. (GSM, based on the Daily Caller)
