The real shame is that is a great picture of a dad and his child. Pretending the Redskins weren't called that when it was taken doesn't make it true. It cheapens a great photo and all of us, regardless of party affiliation, should be against altering history to meet a current social norm. That is a downright scary trend.
100% on your first sentence.
Do you think CNN would've altered the photo as it did if the Washington franchise hadn't itself taken the steps it has regarding its former name? I don't think CNN is pretending the history didn't happen, and I don't think it's trying to do some solid for Biden by "rewriting" that history. Just more like avoiding repeating the sorry spectacle of using a slur like "Redskin" as your "mascot."
But this is likely to end up another sicem365 rorschach test. Some will see a great picture of a father and his child. Others will see the edited/omitted insignia.
My answer would be the same no matter what father is pictured. Your's?
