Washington Redskins, a name used since 1933, faced controversy as it was seen as a racial slur against Native Americans.
Native American groups and activists urged the team to change the offensive name for many years.
In 2014, an NFL-commissioned study confirmed the name's offensiveness and recommended a change.
In 2019, the team decided to change its name to create a more inclusive and respectful identity.
In 2022, the team officially became the Washington Commanders, leaving the Redskins name behind.
