Washington Redskins Yield to Pressure, Drop Offensive Name

The Washington Redskins yield to pressure and finally drop that part of their name that is offensive to most people.



Dan Snyder, owner of the NFL Redskins, has announced that the team is dropping "Washington" from the team's name, and it will henceforth be simply known as "The Redskins."



It was reported that he finds the word 'Washington' imparts a negative image of poor leadership, mismanagement, corruption, cheating, lying, narcissism, and graft, and is not a fitting role model for young football fans.
