Daniel Snyder watches Redskins-Cardinals with the Navajo Nation president... [View all]

[Oktober]

The Redskins have been under fire for their name the past few years.



There were protestors at the game today as the team took on the Arizona Cardinals, and that's been a theme throughout the season.


But Dan Snyder, Redskins owner, countered with the above scene from his box, which turns out to have an interesting subplot. Ben Shelly is actually the soon-to-be former president of the Navajo Nation, as he was beaten badly in a recent election, as Deadspin discovered.
