Rumors flew after the Redskins announced they were conducting a “thorough review” of their name, that the team could perhaps come up with a new name before the start of the 2020 season. Now, a new report suggests that the name change could come very soon indeed.
According to Ben Fischer of Sports Business Daily, sources within the organization say that the team “intends to select a new nickname as soon as possible.”
As Fischer writes, a person bidding for a minority share of the team has received personal assurances that the name will be changed. Fischer also cites a “key business partner” who says that discussions within the organization have been “decisive.” Even going so far as to say that Owner Daniel Snyder, who once said that he would never change the name, has changed his mind and is throwing himself into the process of changing the name.
It was learned on Friday, that FedEx, the title sponsor of the Redskins stadium, has said they will pull their name from the stadium unless the team changes the name by the end of the year.

The mascot name of “Vikings” offends me. I’m a 5th generation Minnesotan of Norwegian heritage, and I find that “Vikings” tends to stereotype my people. The dumb, brutish bloodthirsty blond, who yells Skol, and wears fur...I’m sad to be compared to a Viking. Who do I sue????????? (Sarcasm for you libs)
Are those Shark warriors or Jet warriors?
Washington Bed Ticks
Whatever they choose to call them, they’ll still suck. LOL
Get woke, go broke.
The Washington Soy Boys.
Keep the letters, change the spacing and add an apostrophe.
Washington Red’s Kins. Change the logo to someone nicknamed Red and his family.
So a name that 90 percent of Native Americans don’t find offensive, about which the most commonly expressed feeling is pride, with a logo designed by a Native American, has to go because the #woke mob is offended on behalf of these poor, suffering people who apparently aren’t bright enough to be offended on their own?
THAT, my friends, is white privilege.
