Gregg Deal created this graffiti mural in response to Dan Snyder's claim that the Washington Redsk*ns honors Native Americans. Though it is one of dozens painted on a 990-foot wall, it may definitely stands out with its message against the appropriation of Native Indian culture in American football.

"People have the audacity to say this name is an honor, but I find it hard to believe that the moment a touchdown is made, and people start singing 'Hail to the [Pigskins],' everyone is thinking about the systematic genocide of indigenous people." - Gregg Deal.
