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.
