The Washington NFL team is retiring its name. MLB’s Braves and Indians should be next.

With what is absolutely lightning speed when things like this are concerned, the Washington NFL team will “retire” its Redskins nickname Monday, according to USA Today:

Just less than two weeks after one of his most prominent corporate sponsors urged him to change the name of his football team, Washington owner Daniel Snyder plans to announce the retirement of the “Redskins” nickname and reveal a new team name Monday morning, a person with knowledge of the situation confirmed to USA TODAY Sports.

The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the announcement of a pending change had not been made.
