The Washington Redskins confirmed Monday the team is changing its name following pressure from sponsors over a moniker widely criticized as a racist slur against Native Americans. Washington had announced earlier this month that the Redskins name had been placed under review after a wave of rallies against racial injustice swept across the United States following George Floyd's death in Minneapolis on May 25. "Today, we are announcing we will be retiring the Redskins name and logo upon completion of this review," Washington said in a statement on Monday. A replacement name was still being worked upon, the statement added. rcw/jc
