    Good answer, Governor. Exactly right. I’m a lifelong Washington Redskins football fan too. And yes, like him, growing up I was a Sonny Jurgensen guy when the great “Sonny vs. Billy” rivalry raged in team lore. But things do “evolve” and when a name like that proves to be offensive to some/many, it’s time for us to “evolve.” I don’t agree with the Guv on everything, but the answer here was dead-on.
