Statement from the Washington Redskins Football Team
For Immediate Release July 13, 2020 STATEMENT FROM THE WASHINGTON REDSKINS FOOTBALL TEAM: On July 3rd, we announced the commencement of a thorough review of the team’s name. That review has begun in earnest. As part of this process, we want to keep our sponsors, fans and community apprised of our thinking as we go forward. Today, we are announcing we will be retiring the Redskins name and logo upon completion of this review. Dan Snyder and Coach Rivera are working closely to develop a new name and design approach that will enhance the standing of our proud, tradition rich franchise and inspire our sponsors, fans and community for the next 100 years.
On Taking a Stand and Redskins Fandom
I get it. I really do. It's what bonds us together here. We're 'Redskins' fans. Chances are, our fandom of this team started long, long ago. It may be tied up in our family memories, a legacy of our bond with our father, brother, uncle, or close friends. If we're lucky, our love for the B&G was cemented during the glory days when playoff heroics, dominance, and Super Bowl triumphs were real and life-altering. If we're a little less long in the tooth, we've earned our die hard status by sticking with a team through an unprecedented run of futility, disappointment, and an endless stream of coaches, front office staff, and QBs. Either way - we've all earned the description. We're Washington Redskins fans. And now, everything seems on the verge of change. Not just of change. Of 'undoing', of 'undermining', of 'erasure'. They aren't just 'changing the name' and wiping out a legacy and history most of us have committed significant amounts of time, energy, and passion on - they're...
Redskins Announce Formal Review of Team Name
For Immediate Release July 3, 2020 STATEMENT FROM THE WASHINGTON REDSKINS: In light of recent events around our country and feedback from our community, the Washington Redskins are announcing the team will undergo a thorough review of the team’s name. This review formalizes the initial discussions the team has been having with the league in recent weeks. Dan Snyder, Owner of the Washington Redskins, stated, “This process allows the team to take into account not only the proud tradition and history of the franchise but also input from our alumni, the organization, sponsors, the National Football League and the local community it is proud to represent on and off the field.” Ron Rivera, Head Coach of the Washington Redskins remarked, “This issue is of personal importance to me and I look forward to working closely with Dan Snyder to make sure we continue the mission of honoring and supporting Native Americans and our Military.” We believe this review can and will be conducted...
Skins Quotes 6/11/20: McLaurin, Kerrigan
June 11, 2020 Wide Receiver Terry McLaurin On how he is managing the virtual offseason: “Well this has been very different. This being my first full offseason, you kind of go in there with a mindset knowing what to expect, but then it doesn’t necessarily go that way. Nobody could have planned for this to happen. It’s actually kind of ironic, I’ve been working out since the Wednesday after the Super Bowl and at the time I felt like it was a little early to be starting to work out from what I was hearing from other people, but it actually worked out in my favor because before everything got shut down I had two full months where I was working out, running routes, trying to improve the things that I set out to improve on in the offseason. It’s been different, it’s been an adjustment, but I feel like in the pros you have to be able to prepare for everything, that’s why you’re a pro. I feel like our team has been working really hard individually and trying to come together in Zoom...
Skins Quotes 6/10/20: Dwayne Haskins
June 10, 2020 Quarterback Dwayne Haskins Jr. On what led to his decision to head to Washington D.C. and join the protests: “The whole decision to go to D.C. was just, I feel like everybody in this day and age likes to just talk and I wanted to be about action, I wanted to go down there and be a part of the difference. It was my first protest ever, I never thought I’d ever be able to actually go to a protest especially in this day and age, so it was just crazy to be there. I talked to [Senior Vice President of Player Development] Doug [Williams], I talked to [Senior Director of Player Development Malcolm Blacken] about trying to get in touch with someone that was down there and go walk up to people. I went down there and it was just a great experience. Just the energy and the atmosphere when you walk around people and how much you’re supporting the cause. And just being a normal person felt great.” On what Coach Rivera talked to him about in terms of growing this offseason and...
Skins Quotes 6/10/20: Ron Rivera
June 10, 2020 Head Coach Ron Rivera Opening statement: “Two weeks ago, a man sworn to protect us murdered George Floyd in the streets of Minneapolis. This act of pure violence and hate sparked massive protests across the country and people everywhere banded together in solidarity with the Black Community. Right here in our backyard, the nations capital, Washington D.C. there were massive protests, demonstrations outside of the White House, and Pennsylvania Avenue was even transformed into Black Lives Matter Plaza. I was proud of our community for joining together to condemn these societal issues that have faced our community for far too long. I was especially proud of two of our young players: Dwayne Haskins and Chase Young. Dwayne headed into D.C. last weekend to take part in the protests and gain a better understanding of how he can make a difference. Chase took part in the call to action video that some of the top players in our league created last week. Their message was...
Skins Quotes 5/28/20: DC Jack Del Rio
May 28, 2020 Defensive Coordinator Jack Del Rio On what he’s seen out of DE Chase Young in the virtual meetings: “Well, it’s obviously a difficult time to kind of approach this. You’re excited to get your hands on your rookie class and really for us, as a first-time staff, get in and get working with all of our players. So we’ve not been able to do that in person, but we’ve done a great job, I think, of going through the meetings and going through the install and Chase has been doing what he’s supposed to be doing. He’s been paying attention; he’s been learning the system. For me, I just can’t wait to get going with him, but he’s doing all that he can right now as a member of our defensive line, a member of our Washington Redskins team. I think the sky's the limit for him in terms of what he’ll be able to bring to us. We obviously have big designs, we think he’s a really good player, and we’re looking forward to getting him involved.” On if Young can fit the mold of being...

Many have verbalized that they're 'done' with Redskins fandom now that a name change is a certainty. Rumors that a 'big announcement', separate from the name change news, is imminent in the coming days are rampant on social media. It may have nothing to do with Snyder.

But I'm curious. If the 'big news' is that Snyder is selling and walking...

Washington has added a Super Bowl staple to the front office

A day after firing two longtime executives from the front office, Washington has made a move to at least partly fill those holes. And it's a move that dedicated fans of the team should love.
