A new bill introduced on Capitol Hill Wednesday takes aim at the name “Redskins” and could have a dramatic effect on the football team.

The bill would stop the term "Redskins" from being trademarked.

 

While the bill does not mandate a name change specifically, it would no longer make business sense for an NFL team to continue using the name. Without a trademark, other businesses could sell products using the name without repercussion.

 

D.C. Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton is a co-sponsor of the bill and has been outspoken about her belief the team needs to change its name.
