A petition created by Commanders fan Daniel Fazzolare imploring the franchise to change the team’s name back “Redskins” has over 129,000 signatures as of Thursday morning. The petition has led to a lot of dialogue, but team president Jason Wright shut down any notion that the team would revert to the controversial nickname on Wednesday when he said, “It is not being considered. Period.”
But what about a totally new nickname for the team?
Former Washington quarterback Joe Theismann thinks new team owner Josh Harris wants to change the name yet again in order to further distance the organization from beleaguered former owner Dan Snyder.
