Over time the world has changed and as people of society we need to be alright with change. Slowly we are starting to recognize situations, names, statues in the world and what they used to stand for. For example, getting rid of statues of people who went against The Civil Rights. As a society we saw that we do not need to be walking past these statues every day. It represents bad history and to change we had to take them down. Show we do not land for this, and we will not look at it. The people who are the statues we learn about in school, and we learn the harm they did. Though we do not talk about in schools what names represents. Meaning behind names and what they used to stand for. 

Though as a society we are slowly starting to recognize and act on it. The Washington Compandor’s football team is a great example on how our society has changed. As well as showing how as a society we were unaware for so long a meaning of a word. For the longest time the Washington Compandors were called The Washington Redskins because nobody stopped and looked at the meaning behind the name. The average person just sees a football team with a name nothing more. Though as a society we needed to take a step back and see all the details behind the name. At least before we hop on and supported them, we should know what they stand for. A name is what you are known for and the meaning behind the name should be known. All people see is a name nothing more, but for the American Indian community the name has terrible meaning. 

The name redskin’s is a racial slur that was used towards American Indians. Though most people know the name for the football team. Though it shows how people do not stop and look at a meaning behind a word before they jump on it. Therefore, The Washington Compandors had to do damage control and fix their horrible mistake. The team did do the right thing and change the name, though it took them a while. Though again thew whole team has a branding team and how did they not know about the meaning behind the name. Even having strikes and potations to change the name. The team should have been more on top of what was going on as well as do more action. As well as putting a statement and video to explain the harm in the name and the history behind it. The name changes and the steps in place make it so this was a teaching moment for everyone. This was the time where everyone needs to be educated on names and meanings. 

The Washington Commanders went on to rebranding the whole team. Even allowing the fans to help choice the name. The team did a lot of damage control. Though this incident could have ruined and bankrupted the whole team. Though instead the whole situation was a teaching moment for everyone and for the future. To be more aware and do your research.
