Washington Commanders team owner Josh Harris said Sunday that 'for obvious reasons' the franchise's nickname isn't coming back to the fold.
Washington Commanders owner Josh Harris was asked about the team’s current nickname and whether it was going to stay the way it was for the foreseeable future on Sunday. Marjorie Harris, Josh’s wife, said in May a possible change was 'on the side,' and Josh put a damper on the team going back to the Redskins last September.
On Sunday, he made clear the Redskins name is not coming back. 'For obvious reasons, the old name can’t come back,' Harris told reporters, via The Athletic. 'But right now, we’re focused on things to unify the team around our football team and unify the city around our football team. The first objective is we gotta start winning football games, and we need everyone supporting the team and not things that will drive people apart.
However, NAGA has been leading the charge in pushing back on the negativity surrounding the name. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
