Jason Buck, a former defensive lineman for the Washington Redskins and a Super Bowl XXVI champion, has recently called on President Donald Trump to help the team revert to its original nickname. Buck, who was with the team during its 1991 season, has expressed his desire for the name change to be reversed, stating it has caused significant disappointment among fans. The Washington Redskins, once a beloved name, was officially changed in 2020 to the Washington Football Team and subsequently to the Washington Commanders.
Despite the name change, team owner Josh Harris has made it clear that there are no plans to bring back the old moniker. In an interview on Fox News’ ‘Special Report’, Harris stated that the new name has been embraced by the team’s stakeholders and fans, and has developed a strong identity that is integral to the team’s future.
