D.C. Football owner using disgraced Navajo Nation president to support his team's racism

Deadspin pointed out this past weekend how Dan Snyder, super competent owner, and all around good guy of the Washington D.C. area's football team, continues his ill-conceived campaign against history. In the picture above is Ben Shelly, the recently out-voted President of the Navajo Nation. Why was Shelly "trounced" in his bid for a second term as president of the Navajo?

Shelly entered office under a dark cloud, being charged with fraud, conspiracy and theft in connection with allegations that he had dipped into slush funds to benefit himself and family members. The charges against Shelly were dropped in exchange for him agreeing to pay back $8,250 he was accused of stealing from the tribal government.

Shelly's public support of Snyder has clashed with his own tribal council, which voted 9-2 in April to formally oppose the nickname "Redskins."

Shelly was accused of going behind the back of tribal leaders when he partnered with Dan Snyder's Original Americans Foundation (OAF) to host a golf tournament. When sponsors the National Indian Gaming Association and the Notah Begay III Foundation learned of the involvement of Snyder's foundation, they withdrew their support.

Dan Snyder's breath must smell like shoe polish because his foot gets stuffed into his mouth so often.
