\n Once again, pressure is mounting for owner Daniel Snyder to change the Redskins\u2019 name. This time, it is coming from investment firms and shareholders tied to the team\u2019s sponsors and local politicians.<\/p>\n

If Snyder doesn\u2019t make the change, he could stand to lose sponsors such as Nike, FedEx and PepsiCo. He also wouldn\u2019t be able to move the team from Landover, Md. back to Washington, D.C., according to Adweek and The Washington Post.<\/p>\n

There has been pressure from fans and Native American groups in the past, but going the financial route is \u201cdifferent,\u201d a former Redskins employee told Adweek.<\/p>\n

According to Adweek, at least six groups and foundations, including non-profit First Peoples Worldwide and a number of investment firms, have app<\/a>roached sponsors about the Redskins name. So far, the sponsors haven\u2019t supported the name publicly.<\/p>\n

\u201cIndigenous peoples were sort of left out of the civil rights movement in the late 1960s in many respects, because our conditions were so dire on reservations and our ability to engage publicly was very limited because of that,\u201d said Carla Frederick, the director of First Peoples Worldwide and director of the University of Colorado Law School\u2019s American Indian Law Clinic. \u201cWith social media<\/a> now, obviously everything is different.\u201d<\/p>\n

The team\u2019s lease with FedEx Field is up after 2027, and it hopes to come back to D.C. for the first time since it left RFK Stadium after the 1996 season. For that to happen, though, Snyder would need to change the name, The Washington Post reported.<\/p>\n

Eleanor Holmes Norton, D.C.\u2019s non-voting delegate to the House of Representatives, has held this stance for years and remains committed to it. It is up to the mayor, D.C. council and residents to decide to do with the 190-acres of land on which RFK Stadium used to stand.<\/p>\n

\u201cI call on Dan Snyder once again to face that reality, since he does still desperately want to be in the nation\u2019s capital,\u201d Norton said.<\/p>\n

Mayor Muriel Bowser has backed up Norton, telling The Team 980 that it was \u201cpast time for the team to deal with [a name that] offends so many people.\u201d<\/p>\n

The team has gone by the Redskins since 1933. Snyder has fought back against the name change, but he may not have a choice for much longer.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
