When news broke of Washington “Redskins” stadium sponsor, FedEx asking the organization to stop using its team name, coupled with Nike pulling all team merchandise from its website, it got me thinking about what they could change their name to.
Of course, any Washington based team can just pull on the cities political ties. They already feature the Capitals, Nationals, and... the Wizards? With their recent history of losing the Washington Generals might be an appropriate name.
Investors and shareholders worth a combined $620 billion are calling on Nike, FedEx and PepsiCo to sever ties with the Washington Redskins unless the team changes its name, according to a report by Adweek.
