NFL’s Washington Team to Cancel ‘Redskins’ & Reveal New NickName Monday

*(Via USA Today) – Just less than two weeks after one of his most prominent corporate sponsors urged him to change the nameĀ of his football team, Washington owner Daniel Snyder plans to announce the retirement of the “Redskins” nickname and reveal a new team name Monday morning, a person with knowledge of the situation confirmed to USA TODAY Sports.
