Washington Redskins

NFL’s Redskins announce intention to change name after years of pressure, including from ADL

The team’s Jewish owner, Daniel Snyder, had refused to consider a change for years despite criticism that the name was offensive to Native Americans.

The Religious Action Center and the Central Conference of American Rabbis call the name a “slur” and “inappropriate.”

The Anti-Defamation League welcomed the cancellation of the Washington Redskins trademark by the federal patent office.
