Protesters gathered in Minneapolis Sunday for a massive rally against the use of the name “Redskins,” and they took a personal shot at Daniel Snyder, owner of the NFL's Washington franchise who has been adamant about not changing the team's name. Thousands of people from several states chanted and carried banners near the University of Minnesota's Tcf Bank Stadium prior to the Minnesota Vikings’ kickoff against Washington. Twin Cities activist Clyde Bellecourt told the crowd that the name “Redskins” represents the scalping of Indians, and their scalps were sold for money.
