Washington's NFL franchise has made a lot of headlines these past few months, and although it seems like the team's controversial “Redskins” name is finally going to be retired and changed, they might be in for another month or so of contention and headaches.
ESPN's Adam Schefter recently tweeted about what can possibly be going down in Washington.
Washington’s NFL team hired DC attorney Beth Wilkinson to review the organization’s protocols, per league sources. While Wilkinson is expected to conduct a deep dive into the organization’s past culture, team officials are highly upset/frustrated about speculation running amok.
