After years of controversy, the NFL team formerly known as the Washington Redskins has finally abandoned its moniker, simultaneously beloved by its fandom and loathed by white progressives and SJWs across the US. But with the 2020-2021 season just a month away, the team has decided that - until a more suitable name can be chosen - it will be going by "the Washington Football Team."
Effective immediately, Washington will call itself the “Washington Football Team”, pending adoption of a new name, sources tell ESPN.
This is not a final renaming and rebranding for team; this is the name it wants to use until pending adoption of a new name in the future. pic.twitter.com/sBs0Uo0ICm— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) July 23, 2020
The team confirmed the decision in a tweet.

The team added that it's still in the process of "retiring" its former name; it's hoping to have scrubbed the moniker from all physical and digital spaces belonging to the team within 50 days, hopefully before the team's Sept. 13 regular-season opener against Philly.

I find this Offensive To Real Football Teams LOL!!!
Most bars on oc will be hosting football and pretending it doesn’t bother them. Meanwhile the millionaire players openly despise white people. No thanks.
Washington Weasels

Tune in!
Thats using your imagination, NOT
I thought rednecks were still protesting football? Why do you care so much?
Tens of thousands of dollars of research went into that name hahaha it's ridiculous been a fan for 44 years but no longer as of today
Washington Nits.
How about " The Uncle Toms " ?
That’s noosecar dummy

7:49 aka Anonymous
How can we watch when we don’t know who you are?
I can't believe the kept the name "Washington". That is embarrassing.
How about the Skunks? Cuz their thought process stinks!
Or the Possums cuz they frequently play dead?
The logo can be like Texas Aggies; will print as wTf.
NFL should pay fans to tolerate this BS.
How about the washingtion misers
Can’t wait until they start singing ‘Hail to the Football Team...’
Doesn't matter what they're called, they stank as Redskins, they'll stink now!
504 is there a prepackaged story book or do you guys just make this garbage up as you go along?
I have been a fan since I could watch TV. The wife laughs at me when they are 1-15 or even 6-9 (whatever). She has asked me for a couple of years what it would take to find a new team. I told her I was a fan for life. Seems that I lied. I just cant rout for the Cowgirls though. What a shame. I cant be the only person out there that is giving up on football. The Washington Football Team.....the best that you could come up with. Why move away from the Redskins in the first place...because of a few noisy people. I hope the real fans...the majority of people who did not find the name offensive, make noise during the season by not showing up or watching
who cares they suck the nfl sucks and the players and owners suck! better things to do with my time then watch a bunch of overpaid under educated convicted felon minorities cry about having to play a game while the majority of america works for a lot less!
Utterly ridiculous that the name had to change. I don't support that at all. So when will ALL the other sports team names be changed? Chiefs? Braves? blackhawks? and the list goes on....
this whole 'offensive' crap has gotten way out of hand. Where is the end? Will the name WHITE be removed too?
