Cancel culture is here to stay, at least for the foreseeable future, which means that the name for Washington D. C.’s NFL franchise – the Washington Redskins – is pretty likely to go.
It was only a matter of time, of course. Thanks to years of public pressure that culminated in the woke do-gooders at FedEx, the company that sponsors the stadium, formally requesting a change on Thursday, the organization is set to “undergo a thorough review of the team’s name.”
“This process allows the team to take into account not only the proud tradition and history of the franchise but also input from our alumni, the organization, sponsors, the National Football League and the local community it is proud to represent on and off the field,” said Redskins’ owner Dan Snyder in a statement.
