Matthew McConaughey is a lifelong Washington Redskins fan for two reasons. In the November 2014 issue of GQ Magazine, the “Interstellar” star explains, “First: 4 years old, watching Westerns, I always rooted for the Indians. Second, my favorite food was hamburgers. The Redskins had a linebacker named Chris Hanburger. When you’re 4 years old, that’s all it takes. I got a Redskins hat in my bag right now.” The debate over whether the team’s name and logo are racist and should be changed has been going on for decades. But how does McConaughey feel about the controversy? He says, if the name and logo were to go, it wouldn’t “hurt” him. “It’s just… I love the emblem. I dig it. It gives me a little fire and some oomph. But now that it’s in the court of public opinion, it’s going to change. I wish it wouldn’t, but it will.”
