The American football team of the Redskins (Washington), which was under strong pressure from its sponsors, confirmed on July 13, 2020 that it was going to change its name, criticized for many years because of its racist connotation, without announcing the new at the moment. Voices have long been raised asking this American Football Championship (NFL) team to change its name and logo, with Native American organizations calling for the abandonment of “this racist insult”. Daniel Snyder had always refused, claiming that this nickname paid tribute to the Amerindians.
