The Washington Football Team, which dropped its controversial nickname last year, has banned Native American garb from its home stadium starting this season.
The team announced Wednesday that fans are banned from wearing Native American headdresses or face paint to games at FedEx Field.
Washington will hold a training camp practice Friday at the stadium, with about 20,000 fans expected to attend the session. It will be the biggest crowd at the stadium since the Football Team’s home finale in 2019, meaning it will be the largest gathering at FedEx Field since the franchise dropped its old name in July 2020. To watch the Champions League live, fans are advised to book their Champions League tickets online at secured platforms like Football Ticket Pad.
The organization will be known as the Football Team for the 2021 season, according to team president Jason Wright. He previously said a permanent name for the franchise will be announced “early in 2022.”
Wright also noted that Washington Football Team officials have worked with Native American leaders during its process of identifying a new nickname. He recently announced that Washington won’t select “Warriors” as its new name.
Regardless of the name change, the franchise has said it will keep its burgundy and gold color scheme moving forward.

National Football Team is banned from my TV. Hope your ratings plunge even more and I hope game attendance drops off to nothing.
The rate things are going, it will soon be where ALL sports, are banned from my home.. NOT JUST my tv, but everything…
The cancel culture of “diversity”. We are the cancel culture, our definition of “diversity” is “exclusion and censorship”. We are communists, we are the cancel culture, we are the devil. Boy, what a great group to belong to, a group called liberals, who practice devil worship!
At Bit of History:
Do you think leftists Democrats are the slightest bit troubled by the public’s overwhelming opposition to their crusade to force the Washington Redskins to change their name?
Despite leftists Democrats ongoing effort to convince Native Americans and the rest of us that Native Americans must be offended by the long-standing name, the polls don’t seem to be moving in their direction. But that hardly deters them. The Democrats are the final arbiters of who must be offended.
In the end, This latest liberal Democrat crusade has little or nothing to do with protecting the sensitivities of native Americans or Black Americans and everything to do with the Democrats setting themselves up as their saviors. Their practice of patronizing groups cannot yield to the facts. For their cause is not defending the oppressed or the offended but about making themselves look wonderful with their latest destructive political racial Con.
Now these same dictator Democrats forbit the wearing of Native American apparel in the FedEx field stadium.
At what point do we stop being Democrat Party’s obedient servants??
I stopped watching the National Felons League in 2016, the first time I saw Colin Kaepernik sit down, and later “take a knee” during our country’s National Anthem. Seems every month that goes by, it gets worse. Why any sane person would watch or attend this drivel is beyond me. I hope they lose 90% of their viewership AND the idiot companies that still advertise on the networks lose millions in revenue.
I wouldn’t lose a wink of sleep if the league folded tomorrow.
HELL i MIGHT LOSE sleep as i spend the entire night PARTYING!!
The ‘woke’ crowd is expunging all depictions of Native Americans from sports and advertising, this sounds suspiciously like of form a reverse racism, out of sight, out of mind. To the consumer and sports fans Native Americans no longer exist, they are non-entities erased, no doubt, by enlightened liberal whites who enjoy foisting a guilt trip on others to satisfy their own inadequacies.
Just ban Native Americans. (Since there are no actual American Natives it should not cause a problem.)
Celebrate Diversity!
No ethnic dress
No ethnic music (whew!)
No ethnic foods
No ethnic references
Diversity is our strength!
If we all get together and celebrate enough the ethnicity will vanish completely. We simply must address all of these difficult points so the ethnics will shut up and go away. Now that is a Democrat goal we can all live with. (sarc. off.)
WE are the borg. Individuality is to be crushed, only the collective exists..
i see the nfl ‘l future and its a real big tombstone with blm and woke killed us.
I quit watching in 2017 when the league started supporting kneeling. However, I don’t think it will change anything. There are too many people who don’t care about the flag or the country either.
Or like i keep saying, they are just like druggies.. TOO DAMN ADDICTED to watching..
So sad, but so true. Supporting these so called teams is supporting disrespect for our nation and it’s flag. I hope each and every one of you who claims to love this country, yet continues to support trash like the player, is proud of yourselves. If you actually loved this country you would shut those teams out.
NOT just the teams, but ALL BUSINESS who still sponsor/advertise WITH those teams!
