Support for sports teams changing Native American imagery in the U.S. 2021

The Washington Redskins are a professional football team that competes in the National Football League (NFL). Established in 1932 as the Boston Braves, the team changed its name to the ‘Redskins’ the following year, and moved to Washington D.C. in 1937. In July 2020, following increasing pressure from fans and sponsors, the Washington Redskins announced that they would change their name as the term 'Redskins' was seen as disrespectful toward Native Americans and other people of color. During a March 2021 survey in the United States, 24 percent of respondents strongly agreed that sports teams such as the Washington Football Team did the right thing by changing their name and imagery.

华盛顿红皮队是一家参加美国国家橄榄球联盟（NFL）的职业橄榄球队。该队成立于1932年，最初名为波士顿雄狮队，次年更名为‘红皮队’，并于1937年迁至华盛顿特区。2020年7月，在球迷和赞助商持续施压下，华盛顿红皮队宣布将更改其名称，因为‘红皮队’一词被视为对美洲原住民和其他有色人种的侮辱。2021年3月在美国进行的一项调查中，24%的受访者强烈赞同像华盛顿橄榄球队这样的运动队伍更改其名称和形象的做法是正确的。
