Team president Jason Wright said in a local radio Wednesday that a return to the former name is ‘not being considered’ by the team. Wright’s response comes after an online petition amassed more than 100,000 signatures in an attempt for the team to change its name back to the Redskins.
ASHBURN — The Washington Commanders are not going to become the Washington Redskins again.
That fueled interest in the petition, which started in June . The petition calls for the Commanders to “reinstate a symbol of unity, strength, and shared identity that has inspired generations of fans.” “Making a historical reference to watching and rooting for the Redskins does not signify a shift nor does it change the reasons for dropping the name,” the spokesperson said in a statement.
