The Washington Football Team, which dropped its controversial name a year ago, has banned Native American garb from its stadium.
Washington has banned fans from wearing Native American headdresses or face paint to games at FedEx Field this season, the team announced Wednesday.
Washington will hold a practice at the stadium Friday with approximately 20,000 fans expected. It will be the biggest crowd since the home finale in 2019, which means it will be the largest gathering in the stadium since the organization announced in July of 2020 it was dropping its old name and seeking a new one. It will be known as the Football Team for 2021, with the permanent name being announced "early in 2022," according to team president Jason Wright. He has said they don't want to announce the name until they also have settled on a logo and a new branding of the organization as well as completing the trademark process.
Wright said they have worked with Native American leaders during the process of finding a new name. He recently announced that Washington would not be choosing the name Warriors as its new one. Owner Dan Snyder had applied to trademark that name in 2007 when he was trying to bring an Arena League to Washington.
But Native American leaders told ESPN last summer that would be too close to the former name and therefore unacceptable.
The team has long said it will keep the burgundy-and-gold color scheme, but did away with its cheerleaders in favor of a coed dance team.
If white folks would stop living their lives vicariously through a football team or player the NFL would be bankrupt already.
I understand that all their running plays go left and blocks are made mostly on the right.
What will Elizabeth Warren do?
LOL.

Racists! RIP Chief Zee!
They better get all the money they can out of the last generation that will care anything about professional football.
any fans that are stupid enough to still attend wtf games should wear nooses around their necks to represent dan snyder’s choking under pressure...
The good old days of Chief Zee and Crazy Ray when the Cowboys and Redskins played.
Don’t worry. Disrespecting the flag and anthem are still ok!
Not sure where you live but here in the midwest I see zillions of school kids wearing NFL logo stuff.
Only in Washington state, can you show respect for a race by banning their traditional clothing.
Correct. By far the most tickets are just viggerish for the criminal element that makes Washington what it is. No real “Native American leaders” have anything to do with this travesty. Just self-appointed nitwits.
I gave up on NFL and NBA years ago...MLB more recently.
PGA is the only pro sports In watch...and that’s quite limited.
I grew up as an all-sport all-star athlete - never thought I’d turn my back on those sports. But as a “seasoned citizen”, more important things to spend my remaining limited time.
Leftism destroys EVERYTHING it touches.
Let’s ban everything Indian!
Isn’t the point of all this to suppress them?
Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, that is unless of course you are a thin skinned liberal sissy.
Can you dress as a Governor?
We all know who can't act like one...
