Team confirmed the decision
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.” 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.
