The Washington Redskins, who decided to change their name that offended Indians, couldn't come up with a new one. They will simply be called "Washington"

The National Football League's Washington Redskins , which has decided to drop its previous name, which was considered offensive to Indians, will be known as simply Washington Football Club for the new season.

The team's management emphasized that this was a temporary name for only one season - the NFL games start in less than two months, and the decision could not be delayed any longer.

The club will continue consultations with sponsors, players and fans throughout the season, with a view to selecting a new permanent name.

• Civil society and human rights organizations have been demanding that Redskins owner Dan Snyder change the name for two decades. They believe that it is offensive to Indians, although most US residents who identify themselves as Indians have a positive or neutral attitude toward the name.
• Against the backdrop of the Black Lives Matter movement, politicians, media outlets and major sponsors began demanding a name change, threatening to stop working with the team. After that, the club took a ten-day pause to think it over, after which it was announced that it had decided to abandon the Redskins name.
