Finally, Dan Snyder has zero ties to the Washington Football Club and a lot of things are about to change!
The Washington Commanders have recently undergone a change in ownership, and Earvin 'Magic' Johnson has disclosed that other substantial alterations may be in store for the NFC East squad. Johnson is part of the new ownership of the Washington team. The NBA legend has now revealed that the NFC East team could undergo other major changes, which very likely will include a move back to the District of Columbia and into a heavily renovated/enlarged or a completely new RFK Stadium.
After several months of negotiations, Dan Snyder decided to sell the franchise to a group led by businessman Josh Harris. The deal was for a league-record price of $6.05 billion.
After the NFL approved the sale, everyone started wondering about upcoming changes to the team. One of the questions raised is whether the club will change its name again, as it appears that fans don’t feel connected to the ‘Commanders’ identity.
“I think everything’s on the table, especially after this year,” Johnson told The Today Show about the potential upcoming alterations. “We’ll see where we are with the name, but I can’t say [for sure] right now.”
In 2020, amid nationwide protests for racial equality, the franchise decided to stop using the name Redskins. They played as the Washington Football Team until 2022 when they officially announced the change to the Commanders.
