Washington Redskins coach Ron Rivera would like to see the franchise
change its team name sooner rather than later, and as quickly as before
the 2020 season kicks off.
Rivera told The Washington Post in an interview Saturday the change could
come by September.
“If we get it done in time for the season, it would be awesome,” he told
the newspaper.
Rivera, who took over as head coach earlier in the year, told The
Washington Post that talks with team owner Daniel Snyder have occurred for
more than a month. He said Snyder spoke to NFL officials more than two
weeks ago about the possibility of changing the name.
As for what the new name could be, Rivera said there were two names he
really likes. He didn’t mention what those names were but mentioned it was
important for them to be respectful of Native American culture and
traditions.
“It was hard to fathom that it was in any way a racist thing, to be honest
with you,” he told The Post. “Now, putting it in perspective, there’s been
a change.”
The team announced Friday that it would conduct a “thorough review” of the
Redskins nickname, which has been the team’s moniker since 1933.
Rivera said in a statement Friday, “This issue is of personal importance
to me and I look forward to working closely with Dan Snyder to make sure
we continue the mission of honoring and supporting Native Americans and
our Military.”
The franchise came under scrutiny this week as it was revealed the team is
reportedly barred from seeking a move from FedEx Field in Maryland to RFK
Stadium in Washington unless the team changes its name.
A day later, FedEx formally requested the Redskins to change their name.
FedEx is a corporate sponsor of the Redskins and the NFL. Nike would later
remove Redskins gear from its online store and Pepsi would follow suit and
ask the team to change its name as well.
Snyder has previously been adamant about not changing the team’s name.
Solve the problem. Fire Rivera.

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in

Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.
Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.
President Trump has boosted the economy, reduced illegal immigration,
appointed dozens of judges and created jobs.
Senile loser and NAMBLA supporter Nancy Pelosi got "Trumped" on February
