Change the Washington NFL Team's Racist Name

Created by J.S. on September 22, 2013

Pass a law or make an Executive Order forcing the Washington "Redskins" to change their horribly racist and offensive name and logo to something that does not marginalize and disrespect Native American, American Indian, First Nations, and Indigeno peoples.

Additionally, create a timeline in which the team has to change it and monetary consequences if they do not.

Alternatives can be left up to the team, but I'm particularly fond of the Washington "Redacteds" or the Washington "Sentinels." Something government or military-related would be more than appropriate, and not horribly, horribly racist. But honestly, I don't care what it becomes so long they stop using an outdated, offensive, and embarrassing name.

Thank you.
