The Weekly
This week, the Washington Football Team officially unveiled a new
name: the Commanders. The announcement came after an 18-month
review prompted by years of controversy — a controversy that even
made its way to Congress. The newest episode of The Weekly looks
back to when U.S. representatives and senators urged the team to get
rid of its former name, which many over the years called racist.

OCT. 5, 2001:
“Number 1, we're never
going to change the name, the Washington Redskins. ... It
means tradition.
It
means greatness. It means fighting for the Redskins, fighting for
Washington, D.C.”
DAN
SNYDER,
TEAM
OWNER

OCT. 23, 2019:
“It’s remarkable that the
NFL commissioners and owners continue to sanction the racist and
shameful use of the term ‘Redskin’ to describe Native Americans —
and then profit from it.”
REP.
BETTY MCCOLLUM,
D-MN

Also this week: Five former
employees of the newly renamed Commanders testified before lawmakers
on the NFL's investigation into the team's workplace environment.
