That’s because most people, even Americans, realize that sports franchises chose their franchise names from a list of organizations / people that they admire and respect.
Only fools - or the bribed - could actually feel or pretend to be insulted by their group’s name on a sports franchise.
Because FedEx is paying its $205 million naming rights deal over time, roughly $45 million is due after the 2020 season, if payments are spread out evenly over the 27-year contract. By citing the risk to the FedEx brand, the letter appears to lay the foundation for terminating the agreement “for cause.” That interpretation, confirmed by a person with knowledge of the letter, means that FedEx wouldn’t pay the balance due after 2020 if the name isn’t changed. [...]
Within hours of FedEx’s actions, Nike removed all Redskins merchandise from its online store. The next morning, the Redskins announced the team was launching “a thorough review” of the name — a step that people familiar with the closed-door talks that preceded it said was expected to lead to a change in the team’s name and logo.
Soon after, PepsiCo., Bank of America and Nike followed with statements supporting the step and a change in team name, as did NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. All three companies are major corporate sponsors of the Redskins.
True ... and corporate America loses every time they side with the Left ... you'd think they'd learn. (Then again, perhaps oxygen deprivation caused by wearing their face diapers all day, every day has adversely impacted their cognitive ability.)
they don’t CARE what real people want outside of Twitter where all the loser cultural Marxists exist, also inside of NYC and other major cities.
They rule by being loud and violent, the rest of us just keep quiet.
Redskin merchandise just became more valuable to collectors.
Whenever something is banned or destroyed, it actually “adds value” to the remaining items.
All in for the cultural Marxist globalists who are not even American corporations for the most part, all the products they make are manufactured in a foreign land and sold back to US consumers for a marked up profit. Their loyalty is to their own domination not this country.
and why is FEDEX so upset about the name? Because of a bunch of loud people online and in the streets. NOT because of the majority. Cowards or they have the same agenda as BLM etc. Take your pick.
Unfortunately, it’s the squeaky wheel that gets the grease.
Communists always said that the Capitalists would sell them the rope they would hang them with.
Appears now to be coming to fruition.
I love it!
I already have, I spend Saturday’s and Sunday’s at my local gun range. Just saying!!!
It seems history rewriting is the cause of so many problems in our world.
Too late for Snyder and the Skins. They pissed away their chance. As for the NFL; it’s terminal, bullet’s already on the way to the head.
Petty little racist nonsense isn’t gonna’ win them ANY fans.
FedEx and other corporations paid big money to the Redskins and that gives them a say.
