Report: Dan Snyder hints at keeping ‘Washington Football Team’ as permanent name

With the Washington fans searching for a name for the team in the future, Snyder reportedly says he might keep it as the ‘Football Team.’

While much of the NFL fanbase is focused on the upcoming slate of games to open up the 2020 season, a bit of news dropped in Washington via a Wall Street Journal article that was released. In the article, team owner Dan Snyder was asked about the name change in Washington, which was changed after a public push earlier this offseason, and what his thoughts on it going forward was.

According to the WSJ, in an email, Snyder said that there is a possibility that the team keeps the name ‘The Washington Football Team’ going forward if it catches on with fans.

This may be a horrifying notion to many fans who have been pining for a new team name in the coming months or year, with a huge rally for ‘Redwolves’ growing strong. The WFT has been the butt of a number of jokes this summer, for obvious reasons, but if they choose to stick with simply the most vanilla name there is, the ridicule may never end.
