“It's what the name actually means. I would like people to know the history. Whether it's Lone Star Dietz, whether it's Walter ‘Blackie' Wetzel in Montana, it's just historical truths. And I'd like them to understand -- as I think most do -- that the name really means honor, respect."
George Preston Marshall, owner and founder of the Boston Braves sought to rename the franchise in 1933 after leaving the stadium they shared with the baseball team of the same name. Marshall was said to have named the Redskins in honor of Dietz, who claimed to be of the Sioux Nation, by analogy with the Red Sox who shared the team's new home, Fenway Park. Although a 1933 news article quotes Marshall as saying that he did not name the team in honor of Dietz. However, Marshall is only talking about why he specifically chose Redskins. Dietz was hired before the name change and is cited in many articles and by Marshall as being a reason he kept the Native American theme when changing the team name.

In December 1918 the Federal Bureau of Investigation looked into his heritage after he fraudulently registered for the draft as a "Non-Citizen Indian" with an allotment.

Oops.

That's not a bad idea. Except I'd rather we assign them names of people who wouldn't act all smug when their autopicked team won a game.
