Retired Washington Redskins head coach Joe Gibbs said during an interview at NASCAR’s Quaker State 400 race in Kentucky that he feels the team’s nickname is a source of pride. ‘Never once did I hear anybody ever say anything negative about the name Redskins,’ Gibbs said. ‘It was always prideful, it was courage involved. We have a song, ‘Hail to the Redskins,’ and so everything, everything, about that name has been positive for me and my past.’
