Washington’s NFL franchise has announced that it is retiring the Redskins name, and plans to introduce a new name soon.

Monday’s announcement comes just days after the organization released a statement July 3 saying it would be undertaking a “thorough review” of the team’s name, a process the team said in Monday’s announcement has “begun in earnest.” In an interview July 4, Coach Ron Rivera — who is working with owner Daniel Snyder to choose a name — said he hoped the new name would be in place by the start of the 2020 NFL season.

Is the goal to remove Native Americans from our culture?

Just like the Land O Lakes package change: chase off the Indian but keep her land.

I vote for the Washington Leeches which are both parasitic and spineless.

They are in such a hurry to capitulate that one possibility would be the Washington No Names, but Washington is also offensive so how about the No Names from No Where?

Trump should endorse it and force the NFL to reject it.
