Washington's search for a new name started in July 2020 because their previous name was considered by many to be racist toward Native Americans.

Crystal Echo Hawk, executive director of the nonprofit organization IllumiNative, commended the "momentous moment," but also said, "the NFL is not done.".

This is a good thing.
