The Washington ___?
On July 13th Dan Snyder announced that they would be changing the 87-year-old Redskins logo and name. Snyder, however, did not come to this conclusion on his own. In days leading up to the press release, Nike as well as many other retailers and sponsors pulled Redskins merchandise from their websites as a silent protest to the name. This is not the first time the team has been asked by Native Americans themselves to change the name. previously, the debate had gained no real public traction and was quickly shut down by Snyder.
