“Exit since 1974,” the publication subtitled in X.
While it seemed to surprise the “interstellar” star fans who would be a fan of Washington, McConaughey spoke about his support for the NFL team in 2014.
He told GQ magazine that he became a fan due to the old Western films. He said that “he rooted the Indians” and that because he liked hamburgers, he liked the Redskins due to his supporter Chris Hanburger.
At that time, he also expressed his support to maintain Redskins nickname. The then owner of the team, Daniel Snyder, had promised not to change the name, but in 2020 in the middle of a racial tension summer in the United States

“What interests me is how fast it was pushed to social consciousness,” he told the magazine at that time. “We were all well with that since the 1930s, and suddenly let’s go: ‘No, do I have to change it?’ It seems that when the first dam is broken, everyone goes up on board.
“It’s like my feeling about arms control: ‘I understand it. You have the right to have weapons.'”
The name of the Redskins remains a Hot-Button problem for franchise fans. It seemed that the old logo will be honored in some way, since the franchise seeks to build a new stadium on the old RFK site.
