The group of Native Americans protesting the nickname held signs voicing their distaste for it. One read "R-word = N-Word" and another said "Indians are Human Beings Not Mascots."
"This is a racist name and it should not be used," said Juan Mancias, who is a member of the Carrizo Tribe of Texas:
There has been a recent push for owner Dan Snyder to change the name and some publications have chosen to no longer use it.
A few Washington fans, including one wearing a jersey bearing the Redskin logo stopped to chat with the protesters and hear their views on the name. But a few Texans fans heckled the protesters as they walked into the stadium.
