Redskins’ team name will remain amid controversy

0

In an interview in Richmond during the groundbreaking for the Washington Redskins new training camp, General Manager Bruce Allen thwarted any rumors of a name change. Opposition to the historically controversial team name had once again gained public support, but Allen confirmed the name will stay–at least for now. Opponents cite derogative Native American stereotyping as the impetus for their cause, while team officials say the term is used in respect and that the 81-year-old franchise is too established to rebrand.
