Washington plans to announce retirement of 'Redskins' franchise name on Monday, per report
The "thorough review" into Washington's team nickname that began on July 3 has concluded, and the franchise intends to announce Monday that it will retire the "Redskins" name, according to SportsBusiness Journal's Ben Fischer. The franchise has been called the "Redskins" since 1933, before it moved from Boston to Washington in 1937.
It is not known at this time what Washington will choose as its new nickname, but Mike Jones of USA Today reports that the franchise will also reveal a new team name on Monday morning. However, Fischer reports that Washington will not share any of that information on Monday because of pending trademark issues are preventing that from occurring in a timely fashion. Washington is planning to scrap all Native American imagery but would like to retain its original colors of burgundy and gold, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported earlier this week.
DAVID H - More black supremacy. My guess is that they will make it something to honor blacks...
How many black dudes have fucked your woman? Cuz that's a weird freaking leap.
LOL.
Well a bunch of NFL players have come out said they want it changed to the Red Tails to honor African American airmen in WW2. Why can’t it stay Native themed???
And my woman and I are not into the cuck fantasies as you are your chick…
the problem is also washington, the name of the city, is racist in origin. george washington owned HUNDREDS of slaves. changing "redskins" (are you f'ing kidding me?) to redtails is a good start but it's not enough. our capital city should not be named after a fucking prominent slave owner.
