NFL Team Drops Controversial Name
To the surprise and relief of many Americans, the Washington Redskins will apparently drop their politically sensitive name in 2019.
Dan Snyder, the owner of the NFL Washington Redskins, announced yesterday the organization is dropping "Washington" from the franchise name, which, beginning with the 2019 pre-season, will be simply known as "The Redskins". Snyder stated in his surprise announcement (he finds) the word "Washington" imparts a negative image of poor leadership, mismanagement, corruption, cheating, lying, and graft, and does not conjure a suitable image for young fans of football.
