Fred Smith, founder of FedEx and former minority owner of the Washington NFL team, has died at age 80. He was a notable businessman, philanthropist, and military veteran, with significant contributions to sports sponsorships and community projects. His ownership stake in the Washington team and his influence on sports and logistics industries were prominent aspects of his legacy.
The new ownership of Washington's NFL team, the Commanders, is considering another name change, with minority stakeholder Magic Johnson hinting at a possible new nickname as early as 2024. The team's previous temporary nickname and recent rebranding efforts may be erased by the new regime. Some potential name options, based on a survey sent to season-ticket holders, include Washington Majors, Redtails, Redhogs, Pigskins, and Washington DC Football Club (DCFC). These options aim to evoke military ties, historical significance, team history, and the charm of the "Washington Football Team" era.
