Washington Redskins will change name.

.
The Washington Redskins are changing their name because of all the negativity, shame, humiliation, dissent, polarity,
adversity, defiance, hatred, animosity, contempt, discrimination,
division, violence, counter-productivity, ill spirit, ungodliness and
hostility associated with their name.

From now on they will be known simply as the Redskins.
