Soon, Washington will wish speculation was its biggest issue. Team officials of the franchise formerly known as the Redskins are “highly upset/frustrated” over the increasing number of cryptic tweets and stories preparing the public for an imminent bombshell from the Washington Post, exposing the organization’s troublesome past “culture,” according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. In preparation for the report expected to be released this week, Washington has hired attorney Beth Wilkinson to “review the organization’s protocols,” Schefter said.(Snip)
The team, which officially announced Monday it will retire its longtime racist nickname, also recently saw numerous personnel shake-ups, with front office members

"Retire it's long time racist nickname"
OK, you idiot writer. It is not a nickname, it is a NAME. And it honors Indians, and is not racist. And the overwhelming majority of ACTUAL American Indians are not bothered by the name.
This is just a hate-fest by lunatic leftists, trying to invent 'racism' when there is none.

They should rename their team the “Gay Blades” and the so-called mainstream (liberal) media will lay off!

Who cares? Haven't watched the anthem-kneeling NFL for several years, and will not watch them in the future.

It's a damn shame what the current wokeness is doing to the Washington Redskins. The team has a wonderful history and untold numbers of long-time fans. I have fond memories of all so many wonderful Redskin-related individuals, on and off the field, including Christian "Sonny" Jurgensen, John Riggins, Art Monk, Darrell Green, and Coach Joe Gibbs, just to name a few. I remember law suits regarding ownership of season tickets because the team was then so loved by its fans. Now some haters are doing their best to trash the Redskins and to inflict irreparable harm - and they are doing it right in front of our eyes. I hope the management stands up and defends itself. If not, too bad for the future of the team. The team deserves to be defended and preserved.

Putzies..the name wasn't 'racist' up until a couple months ago...why do people keep 'bending knee' to these commie agitators? It's time to put the brakes on this kowtowing... someone doesn't like the name, tough noougies...suck it up buttercup, pull up your big girl (yea, you guys too) panties and get on with your life...no one owes you anything.

Regardless of the name they choose, one thing will remain associated with the team-
Washington, DC: First in Peace, First in War, and last in the NFL.

While they were looking into the Redskins they should have delved a little deeper. Look at the history of the NFL itself, there was plenty of racism in the entire organisation. Personally I think the sins of the past should be left in the past but if they want to dredge this garbage up on one team why not check out the whole organisation? While at it they should check out the NBA, MLB and NASCAR, there was plenty of racism in those organisations as well. Cancel pro sports! All of it! They are more interested in past sins now than they are in playing the games and racing cars so who really cares if they all go belly up. They are now just a bunch of virtue signaling freaks that need to be ignored.

Between a) CTE (chronic traumatic encephalopathy) lawsuits, b) spoiled players that fans despise, and c) a feckless Commissioner, the NFL is headed for the ash heap of sports history.
Probably pretty soon.

Name the team the Bullets, or the AR-15's, or the Chinese virus spreaders. Name the team anything that will po the political correctness snowflakes. The support for a team with the gonads to do that will go through the roof.

They are still going to be known as the Redskins. We the people will still call them that. Who cares what the left thinks. Redskins is also a potato.

Anyone who does not think the remaining 31 NFL teams do not have dirty laundry by today's snowflake cancel culture, please raise your hand.

I'm in a large part Irish. Does the Boston Celtics name and logo offend me...no. How about "Fighting Irish"...no. Some would assume the fighting part has something to do with alcohol. How about all you Scandinavians? Does the name Minnesota Vikings emote anger? Not likely.

Until those multi-millionaire bozos have a winning season they don’t deserve a name. In the meantime - the Foggy Bottom Limbos.

The timing is convenient. I suppose some figure the owner is vulnerable just now and will pay. But I don't doubt all the complaints. In a home office things are usually well controlled. OTOH when male and female employees travel together it is a toxic mix. In the same hotel, a couple of drinks, dining together, etc.
My suggestion "The Washington Castrati"
