(WASHINGTON) — The Washington Redskins are undergoing a “thorough review” of their nickname. The team said Friday it has been talking to the NFL for weeks about the subject. In a statement, the team said recent events around the U.S. and feedback from the community prompted the formal review. “This process allows the team to take into account not only the proud tradition and history of the franchise but also input from our alumni, the organization, sponsors, the National Football League and the local community it is proud to represent on and off the field,” owner Dan Snyder said. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said, “In the last few weeks, we have had ongoing discussions with Dan, and we are supportive of this important step.” The recent national debate over racism renewed calls for the franchise to change the name, and sponsors this week started mounting their own pressure.

  • The best ways to cook asparagus
    Denver Post, Sunday - 05/05/2024 - 08:00 PM

    By Melissa Clark, The New York Times The first blush of asparagus season never gets old. Every April, seeing those violet-tipped bunches at the farmers’ market sends my pulse zipping and my mind whirling. Dreaming up new ways of preparing them is almost as thrilling as eating them, though clearly not as satiating. Because asparagus cook so quickly and are delightful at any stage of doneness — crisp-tender, velvety soft and even raw, if very fresh — they take well to a host of techniques. Lately, roasting has been my go-to.
