It's finally ending.

The NFL's Washington franchise are will finally drop the"Redskins" team nickname they've had since 1933 -- and will make a formal announcement on Monday, according toThere has been immense pressure on the franchise to buck the nickname recently -- especially after major business partners like Fed Ex and Nike threatened to end their relationships with the organization.

FYI, FedEx has spent MILLIONS over the years for the naming rights to FedExField in Maryland over the years -- so when they threatened to jump ship, Washington clearly listened., said his org will"undergo a thorough review of the team’s name" in the wake of the criticism.-- president of the National Congress of American Indians also issued a scathing statement to the team -- calling for players to boycott until the name was changed.

What's important about Fawn ... is Washington had long argued that Native American groups were largely supportive of the nickname. Fawn and the NCAI called BS and they couldn't hide behind that claim anymore. Now, it seems Fawn will get her way ... with SBD reporting the team will finally move on from the"Redskins" and switch to a new team name.

The team has not locked in the new team name -- they're working on the business side of that ... but the season is set to begin soon, so the clock's ticking.So far, the Redtails and the Warriors have been thrown around as possible replacement names -- you like?

TheSharkDaymond FollowtheMoney Question: is there a Native word for Royalty or Revered that Also begins with the Letter R That should be the name of the NEW R---Skins Franchise; then maybe they could keep the logo but change the narrative on context 🤔better ask tribe leaders

Will always be the Redskins

I’m over it. This PC crap is bullshit

Washington Warriors!

The redskins should get the kids that tried renaming their school w these names.

What about the Washington Swamp?

They are not a good team anyways so it does not matter, they can be BLM team now.

Lol

😥😥😥

Washington pu**ies, seems legit

NFL owners go soft. Worried about loosing money? What happens when they loose viewers because of this crap? Football has changed forever soft boycottnfl totalgarbage fuckthenfl whatajoke

Does this mean they’re “transitioning?”

Sad day for America. What day do the Chiefs drop theirs?

I’m surprised New England is still allowed to be called Patriots.... I’m sure that name hurts someone’s feelings

SPQR; The Senate People Of Rome. Now It’s;; Washington People of The United States of America!

Why would they cancel native americans, that image was drawn by a Native American

Here come the right wing cry babies.

On e again the only color that truly matters ...Green ....No one would sell their jerseys so they gave in

Wow I guess this is just another treaty with the United States is going to break with the Indians showing them that we really don’t care how truly sad the Democrats could care less about the Native American

This is so dumb when all they have to do is just have to change the logo

They will be called the Washington Confederals 😂

Mob rule is dangerous

Drop the name? Drop the team LMAOO they ass asf anyway

TimeForChange

finally luv

$100 on Washington Reds

Radskins

Redskins need to pay attention. The fans, pros, and players both current and former have spoken up. Nothing compares. We need a name that instills fear and respect Redwolves does that!

Here is your new animal you can use for a logo. It’s a Blackneck

The Washington Kilwhitey's?

Thank you ❤️❤️ NotYourMascot

TMZ knows the Dixie chicks already drop the Dixie from the name lol Liberal

Redwolves

Washington Tomahawks

What’s this “nickname” bs?

The Washington Blackskins™

Cool, hopefully they just drop the 'Red' part, and just be the Washington Skins

its about time

If they change their name I will forever, going forward, call them 'The Washington Foreskins'.

The Washington Custards! I’d love to see a Winchester model 94 with war feathers hanging from it!

Heard they are changing it to Foreskins

Whatever the new name is, it won't be as dumb as the Blue Jackets.

In 1940, the Skins lost to the Bears, 73-0.

The Washington Cucks

How about the Washington RedHats

I’m sure there are some Native Americans who resent condescending white progressive women somewhere. 🤷🏼‍♂️

That's BS!

If they're worried about offending people, then drop the first part of the name instead. Washington is far more offensive than the Redskin name. So tired of this political correctness BS anyway and the NFL in general. There are better things to watch and enjoy.

their new logo just leaked

I'm so confused. If the name is racist, then why are you typing it in your tweet? Shouldn't it be censored. Like Washington R******* ?

It’s NOT a “nickname” it’s their team name don’t downplay the importance of them finally changing their TEAM NAME

Actually after the name is dropped, why doesn’t the crackin reporters at tmz go interview some natives and see how much better their lives are after and ask them if their hurt feelings are all better

Danny boy prolly selling tix & charging big bucks just for the press conference announcement.

Football is dumb.

Redmasks! Fauci's! Redtails!

So after all the names of anything that hurts the idiot lefties feelings are gone, then what will they have to whine about or demand special treatment for?

How about the rednecks then? This is native American land...respect my people that were killed in the 1st genocide by European immigrants.

Red Boars would fit...

My money is on Washington Generals

The Potatoskins

Great news long over due. I'm hoping for 'The Redtails' or if you want to keep the Native theme but do it in a more respectful way 'Warriors'

Sad

Nick name? Is it not their actual name?

The stupidity to the maximum level

🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

RICHELLERYAN What A Shame.

realDonaldTrump 😂😂😂😂 its happening. BarackObama

Washington Rednecks, Washington Potatoskins, Washedup Foreskins, Washington Dreamcatchers, Washington Snowflakes, Washington Oliveskins.

WHY? Caving in to the far left, sadly

Are we going to change the name of Oklahoma? Asking for a friend

If they choose “Warriors,” they’re still just not getting it. 🤦🏻‍♂️

They should be named the Aryan Brotherhood. Like and retweet if you agree 👍🏻 If ya don’t, 🖕🏻

JOKE

Washington Natives 👀🤷🏾‍♀️

Minority report predicted they would change in 2019. They were one year off.

Washington Red Feathers

They say drop nickname wtf does that mean..wtf is there real name🤷‍♂️

The Washington Redskins should change there name to The Washington Lawbreakers. But this Intellectual Property belongs too me. But I'll be willing to license the Name out to the NFL for $300 million dollars. Along with a 30℅ annually Royalty rate on any and all merchandise sold.

TheRichSalgado 😳

Good.

Pressure bust pipes🤷🏼‍♂️

Nickname? They’re only dropping “skins?” Do better tmz

SO over this PC BS crap 💩

🤮

Bullshit !!!

Do not care about nfl... period

There going to be A LOT of aggressively angry Trump supporters that stop watching NFL 3 years ago upon hearing about this

Okay why does everyone keep saying nickname? It's the name of the fucking team

Ok.......waiting but not patiently😬

It’ll be the skins or one of the nicknames that people call them already

The Rumpled Foreskins

Washington Pigskins

Washington Hogs or Washington Red Tails ... i perfer Redtails but I know that’s a bride far for some but I will scream if it’s plane jane name like Warriors

Well us NDN’s call each other skins.

Washington Red Knees

What sport did they play?

The new team name is Princess Unicorn Farts

'Natives'

Renegades.

Ridiculous

Make way for the Karen’s! Redskins nfl

Lol this country is a bunch of communist and dictators. They’re forcing people to do shit. Bunch of snowflakes I hope you all catch covid

The DC McConnells! lol

New name? The Washington CENSORED.

Chrissie Teagen is watching with fervent interest...she may just have to apologise now!!!!

What's the whinefest teabaggers? Corporate America does it all the time. 'Hey Culligan Man'

They should name themselves the DC Perverts. Also, DC is Hollywood for ugly people.

They could have started the real trend of not giving into cancel culture and a lot of people would have rallied behind them. The owner caved.

Please, please, call them 'The Bullets'.

Foreskins

From Redskins to 'Thin skins'.

Damn about time

Can’t wait.

Washington NFL team to announce retirement of 'Redskins' nickname, reveal new name MondayWashington owner Daniel Snyder plans to announce the retirement of the 'Redskins' nickname and reveal a new team name Monday. Redwolves and use this logo, Keep it classic. The truth is that they’ve reasserted the term ‘redskin’ from a slur to a football team. That’s all anyone really thinks about when they hear ‘Redskins’. Seems a shame to let it go back to being a slur. We don’t need another slur. What nickname?
