The Washington Redskins logo is seen on FedEx Field prior to an NFL football game. Sources are saying that a change to the team's nickname is"imminent."Little more than a week after the Washington Redskins announced they would conduct a “thorough review” of the team’s nickname, reports surfaced Saturday that a name change is indeed “imminent.”
Though numerous efforts to get the club to change the nickname and logo — with many Native American groups calling the name racist — pressure has ramped up in July, with numerous investment firms and corporate shareholders with companies such as Nike, PepsiCo and FedEx imploring those companies to cut advertising ties with the team.
Last week, FedEx asked the team to change the name. FedEx signed a 27-year, $205 million deal in 1999 for the naming rights to FedEx Field in Landover, Md., where the club plays its home games.
