Dan Snyder Reportedly Has 'No Official Plans' to Change Washington NFL Team Name

Washington owner Dan Snyder reportedly has "no official plans" to address calls to change the team nickname, according to NFL reporter Josina Anderson.

Though the name has been called racist against Native Americans, the team internally says "no other owner has contributed more to the Native American community."

The renewed discussion comes as FedEx pushed for a change Thursday.

"We have communicated to the team in Washington our request that they change the team name," the company said in a statement, per ABC 7 News.

FedEx holds the naming rights to Washington's stadium after agreeing to a 27-year deal worth $205 million in 1999.
