Everyone seemingly has a take on the Redskins team name, including Jerry Jones.

The latest person to weigh in on the controversy surrounding the "Redskins" team name is actor Matthew McConaughey.

In a new interview with GQ, the actor and longtime Washington fan shared his thoughts on the push to get the nickname changed.

He later added, "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."
