Washington, DC (Thursday, July 2, 2020) – FedEx is adding its name to the growing list of companies calling on Washington’s football team to change its name.  A FedEx spokesperson  in a statement said “we have communicated to the team in Washington our request that they change the team name.”

FedEx has naming rights to the stadium, located in Prince George’s County, Maryland, through the year 2025.

The FedEx statement comes as nearly 100 investment firms and shareholders asked FedEx, Nike, and Pepsi to end their relationship with the football team.  Meantime, Nike has apparently removed all of  the Washington Redskins’ apparel and merchandise off its website.

No comment as yet from team owner Dan Snyder who in the past has said he would not change the team’s name.
