Washington’s NFL team has picked a new name, the Commanders.
The team, whose earlier name is a racial slur, made the announcement Wednesday. The franchise had said in 2020 that it was dropping the name and its chief logo, responding to decades of complaints from Native Americans and others who found the moniker offensive. It played the past two seasons as the Washington Football Team.
