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. Others have said it will be revealed as soon as within two weeks.

It won’t stop until fans disappear. Some fans will disappear, but fans need an alternative also. For example, the internet released millions of conservatives from having to read their local, Buffett owned leftist rags for news.
The XFL owners probably kicking themselves for folding due to Covid-19. They would benefit bigly.

Do you think this will cause mass anger amongst fans, so that they’ll burn their jerseys and all?
Like the kneeling of 2017 did for multiple teams?

And they will soon discover the pleasures of engaging in productive and enjoyable pursuits instead of wasting endless hours watching overpaid and thankless people play games.

Yes but that’s owned by the Globetrotters.
And anyway, it really highlights being named for that horrible slave-owner,....

Why not the name of a tribe, like Cherokees, Cheyennes, Apaches, etc? And say it is to honor the tribe...

One has to wonder how removing all references to blacks and Indians is improving their status.

The North Dakota Fighting Sioux nickname was supported and liked by actual Sioux. A Sioux artist actually designed the logo for them.
But in the end the NCAA decided that they were all offended.
