FedEx , a major sponsor of the Washington Redskins, is asking the NFL team to change its name in response to growing pressure from investors who oppose the name's racist connotations.
"We have communicated to the team in Washington our request that they change the team name," FedEx told CNN Business in a statement.
Don't change your name tell them to get over it
The Washington Americans!
I believe it should be up to there fans have a vote you can win prizes if the majority vote is to keep the name redskins keep it if the majority vote change the name change it and let the fans choose the name and win big voting from the fans is the best way to go
How long before Atheists & Muslims are offended by “Saints”? When will everyone remember the fleur-de-lis was once branded onto runaway slaves? ⚜️ 🤷🏼♂️ WhoDat CancelCulture Saints
Fuck yeah FedEx
They should talk to the senator that they purchased… Mitch McConnell. They gave him lots of money.
meanwhile the white sox
Yet again, WOKE WHITE LOSERS taking offence for everyone else. Native Americans were asked if they were offended and 9/10 said they werent.
SPEAKING OF BEING RACIST:if you go to it gives you a list of CNN's anchors and hosts... only 3 out of 71 are black. 119 correspondents and reporters and less than 10 are black. how do they get away with this racist policy?
Call them the WhiteSkins football team to make the white fans feel better.
FedEx hates America.
Snowflakes
Keep the name, lose the indian.
Fedex is in violation of their naming rights contract. I am not sure on Nike but I stopped buying anything Nike since they use forced - aka slave - labor to make their products. justdontdoit
Redskin is an offensive slur to Native Americans. We have a team called the Vikings, why not name it something similar for Natives? Same mascot, but not offensive. It’s not that hard folks.
F U FedEx!!!!!!
lmao
THAT’S ABOUT DARN TIME!

About time.
The name 'Washington Redskins' does not have any Racist Connotations.
FedEx has not rewarded its employees for working through the pandemic, without PPE during the height of the pandemic. Spare me.
I don’t know man, the Washington Indigenous peoples group of North America doesn’t have the same ring to it. Perhaps the Washington Scumbags in Suits is more exemplary of the city it’s self.
