FedEx asks Washington Redskins to change its offensive name and logo
2020-07-04
  • [Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] The Washington Redskins are facing a growing pressure to rebrand as its name and symbol has long been offensive toward Native Americans

  • FedEx said Thursday it had requested the team change its name

  • The Memphis-based shipping giant is the title sponsor of the Redskins's stadium

  • Nike has made no statement over the matter but has silently scrapped all merchandise bearing the team's name or symbol from its online store

  • Past efforts to change the name have failed but pressure is building amid civil unrest following the 'murder' of black man George Floyd by a white cop

  • UPDATE: The Redskins released a statement Friday saying they're considering a name change, and will seek input from team alumni, sponsors, and local citizens
