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.”

"A little more than seven years ago, Washington Redskins owner Daniel Snyder told USA TODAY Sports that the franchise would "never" change its team name — a moniker that many Native Americans considered a racial slur. "NEVER," Snyder said at the time. "You can use caps." Now, it appears "NEVER" has arrived."

Washington Quitters.

You may then have forgotten that the NBA team before being called the Wizards were called the Bullets....

The best name for the Washington Redskins would be the “Rats”
