We all knew the time would come. A time when Dan Snyder’s money is messed with to extent that he is finally forced to change the name of the Washington Redskins.
When FedEx, the main sponsor of the stadium the team plays in, asks for a change it’s a big deal. When Nike – albeit in a petty move – takes down all apparel with the term “Redskins” on it, it’s a bigger move. Those two decisions were the collective straws that broke the camels back.
If you’re one of the few that is still arguing to keep the team name more power to you.
