The Washington Redskins were a professional American football team based in Washington, D.C. They were a part of the National Football League (NFL) for many years. However, in July 2020, the team announced that they would retire the name "Redskins" and logo, which had been criticized as culturally insensitive to Native Americans. The team played as the Washington Football Team for the 2020 season while they worked on selecting a new name and branding.
