The Washington Redskins were a professional American football team based in the Washington, D.C. area. Founded in 1932, they were part of the National Football League (NFL) and played their home games at FedExField in Landover, Maryland. The team was known for its rich history, including three Super Bowl championships. In 2020, the franchise announced it would retire the name "Redskins" due to concerns over its offensive nature. The team later rebranded as the Washington Commanders in 2022, marking a new chapter in its history while continuing to compete in the NFL.
