Dan Snyder’s wife Tonya Snyder apparently doesn’t care that the team was forced to change their name because of how controversial it was.
While addressing fans on alumni day at FedEx Field, Tanya ended her speech with, “Hail to the Redskins.”
Fans were stunned that Mrs Snyder would use the Redskins considering the team had changed their name due to backlash.

The Commanders admitted Snyder used the Redskins name while celebrating the team’s legends.
Commanders owner Tanya Snyder caps address to fans by using the team's old name. You know, the one that was ditched under intense pressure from sponsors because it's a dictionary-defined slur. https://t.co/u58cdNool3

Fans blasted Tonya Snyder.
I just don't understand. You change the name because of many the many racial issues and how it offends some Native Americans but then welcome the name back by saying "Hail to the R…." https://t.co/vSRnwcAuPr

She’s proving to be as tone deaf as her husband. Only difference is she actually speaks publicly https://t.co/Lw7MoWoGwE

Every week, it seems the once-minuscule odds Snyder’s fellow owners would make him sell the team keep doubling https://t.co/ea1p4iCtyj
