NFL fans call for Trump to bring Redskins team name back to Washington after election victory

President-elect Donald Trump's landslide election victory has inspired bold sports culture ambitions by old-school NFL fans. 

In the days following Trump's victory, hoards of Washington Commanders fans have taken to social media and called on Trump to help push the organization to change its name back to "Redskins," previously used from 1937 until its name was changed in 2020. 

The change came after activists and sponsors protested the organization and previous owner Dan Snyder to change it over concerns of racial insensitivity. 

The franchise's previous name and logo was controversial for many years during and prior to Snyder's ownership. Amid the racial tension that befell the country in the aftermath of the George Floyd riots, the organization was finally forced to change its name when sponsors threatened to pull their deals with the team. Trump then lost his re-election bid later that same year.
