Fight for Old DC: George Preston Marshall, the Integration of the Washington Redskins, and the Rise of a New NFLIn 1932 laundry store tycoon George Preston Marshall became part owner of the Boston Braves franchise in the National Football League.

In 1932 laundry-store tycoon George Preston Marshall became part owner of the Boston Braves franchise in the National Football League. To separate his franchise from the baseball team, he renamed it the Redskins in 1933 and then in 1937 moved his team to Washington DC, where the team won two NFL championships over the next decade. But it was off the field that Marshall made his lasting impact. An innovator, he achieved many "firsts" in professional football. His team was the first to telecast all its games, have its own fight song and a halftime show, and assemble its own marching band and cheerleading squad. He viewed football as an entertainment business and accordingly made changes to increase scoring and improve the fan experience.But along with innovation, there was controversy. Marshall was a proud son of the South, and as the fifties came to a close, his team remained the only franchise in the three major league sports to not have a single black player. Marshall came under pressure from Congress and the NFL and its president, Pete Rozelle, as league expansion and new television contract possibilities forced the issue on the reluctant owner. Outside forces finally pushed Marshall to trade for Bobby Mitchell, the team's first black player, in 1962. With the story of Marshall's holdout as the backdrop, Fight for Old DC chronicles these pivotal years when the NFL began its ascent to the top of the nation's sporting interest.

Perfect Label Maker
Color: White
I wasn’t expecting to love a label maker this much, but this thing has been incredibly useful. It’s easy to set up, simple to use, and prints clear, professional-looking labels every time. The print quality is sharp and the labels stick really well without peeling off.

Very much needed!
Color: Pink
This label maker is super cute and very easy to use. The Bluetooth connection worked quickly with my phone and the app has plenty of templates and font options for organizing around the house and office. The labels print clearly, and the compact size makes it convenient to store anywhere. The pink color is also a nice touch and looks great on my desk!

Ridiculously satisfying!
Size: iPad A16 11th/10th, Size: iPad A16 11th/10th
YES! I am completely obsessed with the SPARIN Screen Protector for iPad! From the moment I applied it, my screen looked crystal clear and felt silky smooth like butter under my fingers. The fit is absolutely perfect for both my 11th and 10th generation iPads, hugging every edge without a single bubble or misalignment. I love how responsive it is... swipes, taps, and even intense drawing sessions feel flawless, like my iPad is brand new again. The protector is tough and scratch-resistant, so I can toss it in my bag without worrying about keys or pens ruining my screen. I also love that it doesn’t mess with the display brightness or clarity, so everything still looks vibrant and sharp. Applying it was super easy and stress-free, which honestly surprised me because I expected a million bubbles or frustration. Five stars all the way for a screen protector that makes my iPad feel safe, sleek, and ridiculously satisfying to use every single day!

Happy With The Quality of This Screen Protector
Size: iPad Air 13'' M4/M3 /M2 & iPad Pro 13'', Size: iPad Air 13'' M4/M3 /M2 & iPad Pro 13''
This is my Amazon review for the SPARIN Screen Protector for iPad Air 13 Inch M4 2026 & M3 2025 & M2 2024 (8th/7th/6th Generation) & iPad Pro 13 Inch M5/M4 (8th/7th Gen), Case Friendly, 2 Pack Tempered Glass, Support Apple Pencil.
This is an easy to apply screen saver with few bubbles to smooth out. It is very clear and covers the screen perfectly. I literally can only see it is on because of the cut-out over the camera. It is very thin and transparent.
My iPad also responds precisely the same to my touch and pencil, so the touch sensitivity feels great. I am very happy with the quality of this screen protector so far. It seems to be a good quality screen protector. Thanks, Amazon.
