George Preston Marshall
George Preston Marshall was an American businessman who was the founder of the Washington Redskins of the National Football League (NFL). He founded the team in 1932 as the Boston Braves and was its controlling owner until his death in 1969. Marshall, a supporter of racial segregation, was the last NFL owner to integrate African Americans onto a roster, only doing so in 1962 under pressure from the federal government who threatened to block the use of D.C. Stadium, which they owned, unless he did.
