NFL fans call for Trump to bring Redskins team name back to Washington after election victory

he Washington Redskins changed their name in 2020, ending a nearly century-long run with a brand that, for many, represented Native American stereotypes. The move followed a surge in pressure from activists and sponsors who considered the name offensive and outdated. Amid the heightened social justice awareness surrounding George Floyd's death, former team owner Dan Snyder, who had long resisted a change, was ultimately compelled to rebrand after major sponsors, including FedEx, threatened to pull support.
In response, the franchise first adopted the temporary name Washington Football Team before rebranding as the Washington Commanders in 2022. For some fans, however, the change marked the loss of a cherished identity.
