The'Washington Redskins', a prestigious American football NFL club in 1987, decided to change the team name.

'Red skins', which means redness of the skin, has a racist meaning that degrades American Indians.

The Redskins have been at the center of the controversy over American Indians for a long time, with former President Barack Obama calling for a team name change in 2013.

However, when the sponsor companies recently asked for a team name change, saying "I'm going to get money out of the way," I eventually got on my knees.

It is the result of large corporations joining the opposition to racial discrimination in American society triggered by the death of black man George Floyd.


Fedex, one of the largest sponsors, officially asked the club to change the team name earlier this month.

FedEx is the main sponsor who signed a contract with the Washington Club in 1999 and paid $250 million (about 250 billion Korean won) for 27 years to name the home field'Fedex Field'.

In addition, 87 investment companies in the United States are asking major sponsor companies such as Nike and Pepsi-Cola to end their relationship if the Redskins team does not change their name. Distribution Dinosaur Amazon pulled out red skin goods from the shopping mall and Nike stopped producing red skin goods.


In addition to the Redskins, US professional baseball MLB Cleveland Indians, Atlanta Braves, North American Ice Hockey League NHL Chicago Blackhawks, and NFL Super Bowl championship Kansas City Chiefs are also being asked to change their racist team names.


Among them, the Cleveland Indians also removed the'Wahoo chief' logo, which had been accused of indigenous comics since two years ago, in a uniform.
