FILE - In this Oct. 24, 2019, file photo, Native American leaders protest against the Redskins team name and logo outside U.S. Bank Stadium before an NFL football game between the Minnesota Vikings and the Washington Redskins in Minneapolis.

The organization left behind its name, a racist slur dating to the founding of the United States. The original logo was designed by a member of the Blackfeet Nation. Now a white Republican U.S. senator from Montana is reviving the debate by blocking a bill funding the revitalization of the team's stadium unless the NFL and the Commanders bring back the former logo in some form.
