The Washington Redskins are on the way out. The NFL franchise has announced it's getting rid of the nickname it's used for the past 87 years and the team is also retiring its' logo.
The organization is not announcing a new name just yet because copyrights are pending.
The Redskins name had long been decried as racist and the change comes as the Cleveland Indians have said they will consider changing their nickname.
