The Washington Football Team could begin next season with its temporary name, recently hired team president Jason Wright said in an interview with WJLA.
"There’s a pretty good chance we will be the Washington Football Team next season,” Wright said in the interview, which aired on Tuesday.
In mid-July, Washington's NFL team announced it would call itself the "Washington Football Team," effective immediately, as it worked to figure out a new name to adopt at a later date. On July 13, the team said it would "retire" its old nickname after facing criticism and pressure from sponsors.
