Washington running back Adrian Peterson spoke out Friday in favor of the decision to remove a monument dedicated to the team's founder George Preston Marshall.
In an interview with TMZ Sports, Peterson said the following about the removal of the statue: "It makes me feel good."
Marshall founded the Boston Braves in 1932 and eventually renamed them the Redskins and moved them to Washington.
Per ESPN's John Keim, Marshall was against integrating black players into his roster and didn't do so until the NFL forced him to in 1962, making him the last owner to integrate.
