Votes to Advance RFK Bill Out of Committee U.S. SENATE – U.S. Senator Steve Daines today issued the following statement after the Washington Commanders and Ryan Wetzel agreed on a path forward for honoring the iconic Native American logo that the franchise proudly wore for nearly 50 years. That logo was inspired by Blackie Wetzel in 1971 (Ryan’s grandfather) and modeled after historic Blackfeet tribal leaders, most prominently Chief Two Guns White Calf. The team has also committed to never again censor the logo on merchandise that commemorates former players. With these agreements, Daines voted in support of the D.C. Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium Campus Revitalization Act today in the Senate Energy
