Washington NFL Team's Sponsor FedEx Formally Asks For Team Name Change
Native American groups, among others, have been requesting and protesting for years, and have been met with indifference. It'll be interesting to see what happens now that the moneymen have made the same request.

FedEx, the title sponsor of the Washington Redskins' stadium, is asking the team to change its name following a report that investors are lobbying for the company to cut ties with the National Football League team.
FedEx, which paid $205 million in 1999 for the naming rights to the team's stadium in Landover, Md., said in a statement on Thursday that it had "communicated to the team in Washington our request that they change the team name."
