Redskins logo, name questioned again after Cleveland Indians decision
On Monday, the Cleveland Indians announced that their longtime mascot Chief Wahoo will not be returning in 2019. Now, groups are compelling the Washington Redskins to consider changing their name.
Until a name change happens, the Washington Redskins name will always be a controversial one. Though the team has held the moniker for the entirety of their stay in Washington, the name has come under fire in recent years. There was even a court case filed to take away the team’s trademark, arguing that the name was disparaging to Native Americans. Nothing has come of that yet, and owner Dan Snyder has said that he won’t consider changing the Redskins name.
