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 to Sports Business Daily.

There 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.
