Another HUGE development in the movement to change the name of the NFL's Washington team ... with a major business partner pushing to drop the moniker.
FedEx -- which has spent MILLIONS for the naming rights to FedExFild in Maryland over the years -- is joining major leaders is asking Redskins owner Dan Snyder to swap out the team name.
"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.
