Washington to call itself 'Washington Football Team' temporarily and tweak uniform for 2020

The Washington Football Team hopes to be entirely rid of their team name in the next 50 days

This comes after the club announced on July 13 that it had retired the "Redskins" moniker, which had been associated with the franchise since 1933. The now-former name has been a controversial topic for years, with Native Americans petitioning the team to change it from the racial slur. The straw that seemingly broke the camel's back in this endeavor was the power of corporate sponsors. FedEx, which is in the middle of a multi-million dollar stadium naming rights deal with the club, said in a private letter to the team that they would pull its signage from the venue if the name wasn't changed, citing that it goes against the shipping giant's "people-first philosophy." Along with FedEx, other major business partners like Nike, Target, Walmart, and Amazon have all removed team gear from their websites.

"DC Democrats or Roaring Republcans", obviously out as nether name can be disassociated from fumbling or poor play calling!
