FedEx Asks Washington Redskins to Change Name, Team Plays at FedExField

FedEx -- which has spent MILLIONS for the naming rights to FedExField in Maryland over the years -- is joining major leaders and asking Redskins owner"We have communicated to the team in Washington our request that they change the team name," the company said in a statement.

For years, Washington said Native Americans didn't have a problem with the name so they refused to make a change.... saying the name is deeply offensive and needs to be changed immediately. "It’s time for the players to rip down that name like it was a statue of a Confederate general in their locker room," NCAI president

NIKE, is racist should say “DON’T DO IT”

TheDoctorMD14

Well this is odd

Just call it Daniel Snyder Field....... Problem solved!

And next will be the Atlanta Braves

How long as it been this way. It’s getting to be too much. Really people. How bout we drop Fed ex.

Why no coverage of indignity to Rushmore, a sacred Native American site, a proud national treasure & home to Park-protected flora and fauna. Seriously, this risky & inappropriate display should be stopped. NoRushmoreFire !

HAHAHAHAHA is there no end to the BS .

Washington Thinskins

Ridiculous

Washington Freedom Fighters!

Washington Express

This is getting really ridiculous!!!

Nike should just step back. They haven’t learned there intimidation turns customer s off

Why is that?

Hey Nike How about the Washington Sweat Shops.

Yes.. Because FedEx and Alyssa Millano are the indigenous people..

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I have the perfect solution! nfl Redskins

'White Supremacy' of the left, is removing all native American names off sports franchises, removing historical black faces off merchandise, and tearing down Abe Lincoln statues, but leaving the Minnesota Vikings alone.

They should've already asked. Asking in 2020 just means they're kneeling.

Since white nationalists say racism doesn’t exist, let’s name them the Washington Mayonnaise Faces. We’ll see how they take it. Oh, and I’m white so I can say this 😎

Watch them change it to the DC Redskins

Maybe should rename the team The Washington Allskins!!!

Why do so many people spend so much time pissed off because people want to change a name that doesn’t effect them in any way? Why tf do you care? Redskins is offensive to Native people. Are you Native American? No? Then STFU. Let the rest of us do something nice for once. FFS.

Ever since I got a job at FedEx I been seeing this company everywhere.

What about the chiefs then?

Damn they're are white washing the whole system. Cleared their backs.

Ugh!

Don’t fuckin’ do it Redskins

I’m a fan of this personally.

Alright👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 First Nation(Native Indians) y'all come on. It's time!

OMG people get a fucking life ! this is getting ridiculous all this politically correct crap has gotten out of hand.

Cuz the important things...

If they change the name I will never watch the team again

Washington warriors

Problem solved

Time to boycott Nike and FedEx who is with me? AllLivesMatters BlackFragility

Warriors is better than Redskins

Hold your ground Redskins. Dont let them intimidate you

Don’t change your name Redskins we love you and your history.

Cowboys killed Indians And what about the chiefs. Pretty sure the Vikings did some terrible things. Not sure about buccaneers.

UPS Field.
