Washington Redskins retire team name, logo; no replacement announced
FOX News ^ | 07-13-2020 | By Ryan Gaydos

It had been the organization's moniker since 1933

The Washington Redskins announced Monday they will change their team name and logo after about 87 years of using it, in the wake of corporate and public pressure to ditch the moniker over racial connotations.

The Redskins did not announce a new name.

“On July 3rd, we announced the commencement of a thorough review of the team’s name. That review has begun in earnest. As part of this process, we want to keep our sponsors, fans and community apprised of our thinking as we go forward.

“Today, we are announcing we will be retiring the Redskins name and logo upon completion of this review.

“Dan Snyder and Coach Rivera are working closely to develop a new name and design approach that will enhance the standing of our proud, tradition rich franchise and inspire our sponsors, fans and community for the next 100 years.”

I’m concerned the NFL may cancel their season. If they do that, they’ll deny us the chance to give them the middle finger.

They’ll forever be the Redskins whether they like it or not. Just like the Sears Tower will always be the Sears Tower, Mt. McKinley will always be Mt. McKinley, Jefferson Davis Highway will always be Jefferson Davis Highway, etc. F these filthy renamers.

Well if that name comes in there has to be a team called Trotskyites to create a rivalry.

I still think Red Tails will be the name they settle on. The name honors the famous Tuskegee Airmen and even has full support of the military.

Washington Redskins Black Lives Matters. They could have a black fist on their helmet...

At this point, makes zero difference to people like me. I’ll never support the NFL in any way shape or form again for the rest of my life. Same goes for ALL organized/televised sports. It’s all just phony woke entertainment

If they want to keep it real, they should become the Washington Rainbow Warriors.

I feel your pain:

Rich Stadium(where the Buffalo Bills play) not New Era Field.

It will always be the Sears Tower in Chicago.
The CN Tower in Toronto.
The Burg Dubai(tallest building in the world)in Dubai.
The Boston Garden was the Fleet Center for a few years.
