July 3 (UPI) -- The Washington Redskins announced Friday that the team will "undergo a thorough review" of the team's name.
"This process allows the team to take into account not only the proud tradition and history of the franchise but also input from our alumni, the organization, sponsors, the National Football League and the local community it is proud to represent on and off the field," team owner Dan Snyder said, in a press release posted to Twitter.
