Probably would have told the detractors to go to hell. One of the last great sports titans.

    Quite benevolent as he wisely endowed much of his wealth to the JKC foundation!

    There's no need to wonder. As Wikipedia says, "although often assumed to be a debate of recent origins, the local Washington, DC newspapers have published news items on the controversy many times since at least 1971."

    Cooke responded to protests by stating, "There's not a single, solitary jot, tittle, whit chance in the world that the Redskins will adopt a new nickname."

    Looks like many scholars and artists have benefitted from his generosity.

    Nice to work hard and leave something behind.

    Agreed, though he's no George Soros...
