The Washington Football team revealed its new name on Wednesday: The Washington Commanders.

It took more than a year for the team to settle on a new name after dropping its former moniker.

The change was revealed by the team’s President, Jason Wright, who appeared on NBC’s “TODAY” program on Wednesday morning. The announcement ends a search that took more than one year after the club ditched its former name – the “Redskins” – in July 2020 after corporate sponsors including FedEx threatened to pull business. The name has long been considered a racist slur against Native Americans.
