After decades of opposition to the name of the team by Native Americans, major sponsors responded to opponents of systemic racism in the wake of the killing of George Floyd. FedEx, Nike, and PepsiCo advocated changing the name. On July 3, 2020, Washington owner Daniel Snyder and team management announced a process of review of the name. On July 13, 2020 the team made an official statement that their review would result in the retirement of the Redskins name and logo. On July 23, the team temporarily changed its name to the "Washington Football Team" until a more permanent name can be revealed at a later date.
