Back in 2020, the corporate cowards didn’t ask the fans. They didn’t ask the Native families. They didn’t ask the White Calf descendants. They just tripped over themselves to appease the activist mob. The Redskins were erased, replaced by the soulless “Commanders,” and a piece of American heritage was thrown in the trash. All in the name of “respect.” If hypocrisy were a Hall of Fame sport, the woke Left would have their own wing.
Who Was Chief Two Guns White Calf?
Here’s what the media never tells you. The face on the Redskins helmet for nearly 50 years wasn’t a cartoon or a caricature. It was a real man: Chief John Two Guns White Calf of the Blackfeet Nation. He wasn’t some obscure figure either. He was a statesman, a warrior, and a cultural ambassador.
White Calf:
-
Defended Blackfeet traditions in Montana against government intrusion.
-
Fought for Native treaty rights in Washington, D.C., demanding America keep its promises.
-
Modeled for the U.S. Mint’s 1913 Indian Head nickel, a design still prized by collectors.
-
Made friends with leaders like Teddy Roosevelt Jr. and New York Governor Al Smith.
-
Inducted President Calvin Coolidge into the Blackfeet Nation in 1927.
When he died in 1934, his death was front-page news nationwide. He was that respected. This was a man who embodied pride, leadership, and cultural strength. And that’s who the Redskins logo honored — not mocked.
The White Calf Family’s Stand
Thomas White Calf, the chief’s nephew, has said it loud and clear: the family never wanted the name changed. They saw it as a tribute. They saw it as heritage. They saw it as a proud legacy. But in 2020, none of that mattered. Cancel culture decided they knew better than the family whose ancestor was at the center of it all. And so Chief Two Guns White Calf went from being a respected symbol of strength to being written off as a “savage mascot.”
That’s not respect. That’s erasure.
Soros-Funded Activism at Work
And here’s where it gets even more telling. The National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) — the group that led the charge to kill the Redskins name — wasn’t some organic grassroots uprising. They were funded in part by George Soros’s Open Society Foundations. Outside billionaire money, poured into groups claiming to speak for Native Americans, but in reality speaking over them.
So while the White Calf family was silenced, Soros-backed activists and corporate sponsors like FedEx and Nike pulled the strings. This was never about Native pride. It was about political power and woke PR.
Trump as Defender of Tradition
Fast forward to today. Donald Trump has tied the Redskins name directly to the Commanders’ proposed multibillion-dollar stadium in D.C. No name restoration, no deal. That’s not just talk — that’s leverage. It’s Trump saying what millions of fans have always believed: the Redskins name was never an insult. It was an honor. And it should return.
This is the difference between Trump and the rest of the political class. While the Left congratulates itself for “protecting” minorities by deleting their history, Trump is fighting to give that history back.
Hypocrisy of the Left
The same crowd that screams “representation matters” is the one that erased Native representation from America’s most visible sport. They pretend to defend culture while bulldozing over actual Native voices. They claim to fight racism, yet in their zeal, they dehumanized a real chief and erased his legacy.
That’s not cultural sensitivity. That’s cultural theft.
The Bigger War on America’s History
The Redskins fight is just one battle in a larger war. Remember 2020? It wasn’t just about a football team. Statues of Lincoln, Roosevelt, and Columbus toppled. Military bases renamed. The very symbols of America’s history turned into targets for the woke mob.
The playbook is always the same: erase, rename, and pretend the past never happened. But nothing says we can’t reverse it. If the Redskins can come back, why not our monuments? Why not our history? Why not the America that celebrated its heroes instead of tearing them down?
Fans and Natives Speak Louder Than Elites
Fans still chant “Hail to the Redskins.” Polls from the Washington Post and others showed most Native Americans weren’t offended by the name. But none of that mattered to woke elites and their Soros-funded allies. They silenced the voices that mattered most and pretended they knew better.
Now, thanks to Trump, the White Calf family and millions of fans finally have their voices back in the debate.
Final Thoughts
The Redskins logo wasn’t a slur. It was a tribute — to a real man, Chief Two Guns White Calf, and to Native strength and heritage. The family wanted it. The fans wanted it. The Left erased it. And now Trump is fighting to bring it back.
This isn’t just about football. It’s about who controls our history — the people who lived it, or the elites who want to rewrite it. If America can restore the Redskins name, maybe it can restore some sanity too.
So hail to the Redskins, hail to Chief White Calf, and hail to a nation that refuses to bow to woke hypocrisy.

Jimmy thank you so much for the Redskin Story. I’ve always believed the Redskins were honored. Yes real Indians I just did not know the whole story. Thank you for such for the real factual narrative. Being a life long athlete myself I’ve been shattered that all Professional Leagues have over expanded and have left the fans with to many rag tag outfits. But again President Trump is such an American who wants to save what’s left of our Country Ruined by the current Dead Party all Democrats. We The People will keep voting them out and return Our America back to what it was supposed to be. Just the way I grew up We all looked out for one another learning what it meant to be a Proud American. Amen
