I think we all knew this move was coming. The Redskins announced in early July that the name of the team would be reviewed.
You don’t do something like that unless you’ve already made the decision to change the franchise’s name.

The big question now is what will the team change their name to. The Warriors has been floated, but Twitter is all about changing the Redskins to the Redtails.
I would love to see the Washington Redskins do a total 180 and become the Washington Redtails, the nickname of the first Black military aviators who flew 15,000+ missions during WW II. Logos by @mbingcrosby + @cdauphin. pic.twitter.com/rEZNQ1Cvba
