Report: Dan Snyder Conducting 'Informal' Review of Washington NFL Team Name

Despite calling for a "thorough review" on changing the nickname of the Washington football team, owner Dan Snyder has kept the process informal with no set end date or goal, according to Les Carpenter of the Washington Post.

"People familiar with this review and similar ones conducted by the Redskins in the past say it is a more informal process, primarily led by Snyder, with the owner speaking to key advisers and league officials who are helping him choose a new team name," Carpenter reported.

"In effect, [the review] buys time," one person said.
