A monument to the former owner of the Washington Redskins and a statue of the former owner of the Minneapolis Twins were removed because of the men's racist pasts, the Washington sports authority and the Twins organization said
The Minneapolis Twins removed a statue honoring Calvin Griffith from outside the team's ballpark. In Washington, DC, the city's convention and sports authority, Events DC, removed a monument to Redskins franchise founder George Preston Marshall from outside Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium. The Redskins played at RFK Stadium before moving to FedEx Field in Prince George's County, Maryland.
"His disparaging words displayed a blatant intolerance and disregard for the Black community that are the antithesis of what the Minnesota Twins stand for and value," the Twins said in a statement. "Our decision to memorialize Calvin Griffith with a statue reflects an ignorance on our part of systemic racism present in 1978, 2010 and today.
