The Washington Commanders took on the Green Bay Packers on Sunday and and co-CEO Tanya Snyder addressed a homecoming rally outside the stadium before the game. The crowd had formed to support the team and get a chance to see some star players from the franchise’s past. As Snyder finished her comments and looked to pass on the microphone she proclaimed, “Hail to the Redskins and let’s beat Green Bay!”

The organization decided to ditch the old moniker it had since the inception of the franchise in 1933 when it was then known as the Boston Redskins. During a time of unrest in the U.S. in the summer of 2020, Washington announced it would change the name and settled on Commanders earlier this year.
