The National Football League's Washington franchise will change the Redskins name and logo, the team announced Monday in a statement.
The new name of the team was not revealed.
The announcement comes just days after the team said that a "thorough review" of the name would be conducted. The name has long been denounced by Native American groups as an ethnic slur.

When is the last time the Redskins had a winning season, 30 years ago? I was a huge fan in the 80s when I was growing up in DC, but after 30 years of losing it’s hard to care about the Redskins.
Official Name Change Exclusive A Must See…https://youtu.be/Ou8bOOjaVPQ
Fun fact: an actual Native American Drew up the Redskins logo…
Fun Analysis: That still doesn’t make the logo OK…
@Boyd Otero The redskin logo was designed by a Native American. Walter “Blackie” Wetzel Chairman of Blackfeet Nation and President of the national congress of American Indians. Created the logo in 1971 to put on the redskins helmets. Quote By Wetzel in 2002 “It made us all so proud to have an Indian on a big-team. It’s only a small group of radicals who oppose those names. Indians are proud of Indians”
This is how history is changed, people being ignorant and going off feelings to make history however they want it to be. So no one will learn from the past mistakes and history will ultimately repeats itself.
@DieFlabbergast Christopher Columbus came to America and called native Americans ‘indians’ Christopher Columbus is stupid, native Americans weren’t from india
The definition of irony

I’m tribal and it’s not offense now we will only have the chiefs to represent us Native Americans. It’s ok to change the name but keep the Native American theme plz we barely get represented anywhere even if ppl think it’s racist. It’s a word and they never ment any offense to me. Wtf this cancel culture needs to end now and only us can do it.
@Chris Leekeep crying since 2016
@Paul Trought good one
DEMOCRAT POLITICS AT IT’S FINEST! TAKE DOWN EVERYTHING WHAT AMERICANS LOVE AND STANDS FOR!
NATIVE INDIAN AMERICANS DON’T FIND ANYTHING RACIST ABOUT IT! THIS ALL COMES FROM THE DEMOCRAT POWER HOUSE FAR LEFT!
HERE’S WHAT A NATIVE AMERICAN HAS TO SAY, PLEASE WATCH VIDEO CLIP
https://youtu.be/oSjk-0sUu5A
You obviously can’t think for yourself so just shut up and let a white liberal tell you what to be offended by
Ok. Your White blood seems conflicted tho. End Manifest Destiny
Apparently, honoring some people’s bravery and courage is now somehow offensive. I don’t get it, maybe I´m too old.
Read up on what the CCP did to China in the 1960s.. And you will see disturbing parallels to what we are see happening here, in dismantling and erasing culture and history. CCP in just a few short years dismantled hundreds to thousands of years of Chinese culture and history because it conflicted with their “ideals” of what China was.. Notice the far left cares more about this and virtue signaling than actually helping the Native American population in United States.
“Is this offensive to Native Americans, Mr. Black Man?”
@Generic Name why won’t u answer the “standing in solidarity” question?
The news guy said “it is important for us to get an opinion from you as a former player, and as a black man”
@Generic Name That’s the black privileged. Well, more correct – that’s the leftist liberal privileged – claim there is an issue in the name of another race and pretend that in itself isnt’ racist.
@Generic Name It’s a funny observation, but not to be taken seriously. Maybe it would’ve been better to have a Native American on there sure, but if you actually watch the video, Mr. Stallworth actually does his research and seems to be very educated on the matter.
@It’s About Time Here’s a statement from REAL Native Americans, who have been fighting to get the name changed for years. Even Fox News had to report it. And btw (they are considered a MSM outlet too. Shh don’t tell anyone!)

Create controversy, get attention. Everyone’s knew way of advertising.
Yep, which is why we’ll respond by not watching the NFL. UFC is better anyways and they won’t play the Black National Anthem (because black is a nation, I guess?) before games either
And votes! #walkaway
Aaron Landry exactly because there’s not black Cubans, black Dominicans, black puertoricans, etc. oh and black Americans weren’t union soldiers too that won against the confederates that were the democrats…..
That’s why I #walkaway over it.
I hope the Indians are happy when any public facing reminder of their existence is entirely removed
WHO..?
NFL …” THE WASHINGTON TRANSGENDERS”…..NOT ONE TIGHT END…….ALL WIDE RECEIVERS
Nike – “Redskins” is offensive
Also Nike : Chinese child labor is needed so we can sell our shoes for only $200
(“woke” people are evil and fake)
Many liberals love wearing Nike and support child slavery because Nike puts out liberal propoganda and they swallow it up
Redskin is racist and Nike isn’t any good. Why can’t it be both?
They are anything but woke! They are brain dead zombies!
Democrats prefer Looting.
@Wayne’s World O, if everyone else does it, it’s alright?!
The Washington dumpster fire is my pick
NFL …” THE WASHINGTON TRANSGENDERS”…..NOT ONE TIGHT END…….ALL WIDE RECEIVERS
I was reading where lots of native American didn’t have a problem with it .I dont have a problem with it I am part native American
Let me guess. You “read” this on fox news.
They didn’t
@abcd3625 you need 2000 for a ‘reliable’ poll.
So this mean the Cleveland Indians, Kansas city chief and Atlanta braves need to change there name. If was so offended to nike,pepsi,fedex why they keep selling there Merchandise
Trust me, us Niistitapi, are offended and we do care. The only Natives that don’t care, are the elders who have become segragated by the residential school and foster care system. And thug/gangster type Natives, are the one’s who don’t care, because of identity loss, they think the logo is something “warrior”-like and that’s how they identify with their lost cultural identity. Natives who speak their language, practice traditional religious beliefs, attend ceremonies, and are still deeply connected with our culture, we are the one’s who are offended by the name and logo, and all the idiots(fans) in the stands wearing mock headresses, beating on fake “Indian” drums.
Imagine if CNN actually read the comments.
Boss Hitmonchan Fox leaves it’s comments on usually, but it looks like every news channel leaves them on at complete random. Pretty annoying, but it’s better than channels like Obama’s where the dislike to like ratio and comments are turned off for every video.
Anyhow, do leftists like you absolutely have to use those same few buzzwords (“bigot”, “racist”, “homophobic”, “sexist”, “Nazi/White Supremacist”, “Fascist”, etc…)? I’d swear that every leftist I’ve ever seen uses those exact phrases for every conversation and honestly, aren’t childish insults beneath political conversations? Politics are supposed to be adult matter, but using those is just childish. I mean, you know none of those words carry any meaning if you call everyone them, so you might as well just not even bother with them.
Jessica doty whittaker?!
@Boss Hitmonchan who is george kirby?
@Dave Curry who is george kirby?
@Boss Hitmonchan CNN and Fox have both turned off comments on many occasions. Don’t pretend either of them are innocent
EVERYONE IS OFFENDED BY SOMETHING! What a JOKE?🤮
@Chris Lee nope
Apparently youre something is a team changing its name. 😂😂😂😂. What a puss you are.
Genocide and human trafficking tend to have that effect on people. Go Figure.
Matthew 24:10 and then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
More end time signs just like the bible prophesied friends. Seek Jesus guys he loves u so much and doesnt want anyone to perish. He is just looking for humble and willing people to believe on him and receive his love. John 3:16 if you are not Born Again then Believe in the Gospel repent and be saved today friends

I guarantee people will be wearing Redskins shirts, hats etc for decades.
@Don b The only petulant and child thing here is changing a name because a bunch of self righteous white liberals are offended.
After all, they got their gender degrees and social studies.
@C S Quite true! They’ll take a logo off the helmet but they aren’t going to restore the ownership of the land to them, are they!?
@Aaron Landry You might not be offended, but the woke white people who want to virtue signal are! And I guarantee you they are not willing to give back the land on which their homes sit, or the businesses built on Native American land.
They’re not _that_ virtuous!!!
Well in KC….
Yeah if they think they can somehow ban a stadium full of thousands of screaming fans from drawing arrowheads on each other or the word CHIEFS across their bellies or politely demand and order them not to do the CHOP during a big play… You’re nuts.
They can do those things AFTER they take their seats and they can’t employ enough guards to escort EVERYONE out. Its an empty threat that is only enforceable with season ticket holders. In November 10 degree chills, are they going to make a woman open her coat to make sure they don’t have a sparkly Chiefs bikini on underneath? Or a bad shirt_
Get real. Censorship only goes so far.
What… If you had your car professionally painted in redskins or Chiefs murals are you banned from entering the parking lot to tailgate?
Repeat after me kids
*UN-EN-FOR-CE-A-BLE*
For at least 2 or 3 generations minimum.
Ok Racist you use Aunt Jemima and eat Uncle Bens Rice, eat at Zambia ,wave the Confederate Flag!
CNN corporate money propaganda machine, here’s proof it’s all about money!
Here’s proof that activism matters. It can achieve meaningless victories over non-concerns.
Donato Davis Not what the Democrats are teaching no. Walking with cardboard signs about issues in cities based within the cities controlled by the lack of effort or neglect by the leaders in the cities on local levels……
No marching with pretty signs doesn’t change the fact you guys don’t show up to city elections and vote officials out and get any policy changes.
I can’t remember the last law that was passed due to the protesting. Maybe a case? A judge ruling one time? No law changes.
You know what works? Following what policies are passed and showing up for every election keeping up. Learning the system, legislative, judicial and executive…..
Knowing where the issues lie and who controls what, federal vs local level:
The cities are failing economies. Rich vs poor. There is no in between. They run the nation problem…..those senators and officials can’t run their districts.
It’s a popularity contest. Promises and words. No action just #walkaway
Joseph F Microsoft no kidding just released a patent “060606” (devils numbers nothing to worry about)……and it’s a chip to monitor body activity for cryptocurrency mining. It’s also scannable light activated with luciferase….. nothing to worry about. Completely fine.
Very real lol. I’m like how do you even imagine these things.
@dikobrazpaul DemocRAT?
who is george kirby?
@dikobrazpaul Oh yeah I’m sure this keeps you up at night.
How about the Washington Foreskins?🙂
Snowflakes would not be bad either…
@E. ‘Chip’ Heard – Pigskins is offensive to pigs.
@perry matwishyn
What about the mascot?
@Sherry Anderson PETA won’t like that.
@shkspr78 s 😂
Breaking news!!

The left is giving the election away in 2020

I bought some goya products yesterday …specifically looked for it because I support good buisneses
@E E Google Goya sales lol
Liberal white people protesting a Hispanic mans company….sounds racist to me
Liberals ruin everything they touch.
Eff Goya !
Ok , time to change the name of the Brown’s , it’s offensive to Mexicans
NFL …” THE WASHINGTON TRANSGENDERS”…..NOT ONE TIGHT END…….ALL WIDE RECEIVERS
