Washington Football Team prohibits the fans Indian Headdress - team
One year ago, the franchise from the US capital had already banished the term "redskins" from its name after massive pressure and years of heaty discussions. This is perceived by many people in the US and worldwide as racist. For the new season, the Washington Football team now sets more rules to separate from the contaminated sites.
New name is expected for early 2022
Accordingly, it will be banned the fans to appear in traditional clothing or with the headdress of the American natives in the arena. Even facial painting in Indian tradition will be prohibited. The Washington Football Team, which starts on September 12 against the Los Angeles Chargers in the 2021 season, calculates at the start with around 20,000 spectators - so many fans were never in the Fedex Field because of the Corona Pandemic, since the franchise their name change had announced.
The new name is still not fixed. According to President Jason Wright, this should be presented to the public in early 2022. On behalf of the name are the responsible persons of the Washington Football Team in constant exchange with organizations of the natives of America. "We have enforced significant changes in our organization and culture, and our new team name should document this change," Wright had already said in July.
