FedEx asks Washington Redskins to change team name

The Washington Redskins have existed since 1933 -- that may be all coming to an end in 2020.
FedEx Corporation, which bought naming rights to the home of the Redskins, FedEx Field, put out a statement saying that it is requesting a name change. A group of investment firms asked companies like Nike and Pepsi on Wednesday to refuse to do business with the team until a name change happens.

How about the "Washington Bureaucrats"?

The "Deep Staters"?

My $$$ says that they will indeed change their name this season.

Otherwise, they'll have to fully vet the social media and backgrounds of all their game umpires and referees, for they will be royally screwed.

When they changed the name of the Washington Bullets, I stopped following professional basketball.  I've been a die-hard Redskin fan since 1971.  But changing the name will end that.

True story: FedEx owned a football team once.

The Memphis Mad Dogs lasted a single season in the CFL and were never profitable or popular.

But please, tell us how to manage a professional football team. /sarc
