The following are partial lists of individuals, groups, and organizations that follow the NFL and have honorably spoken out on this issue.  Some have called outright for a name change, others have simply refused to refer to the team by name in print – but these lists represent just a small sample of the many local and national groups and personalities who stand in favor of a new tradition for football in Washington, D.C.

We are hoping to provide as complete a list as possible but realize we may have left off some names.  Please let us know if your name or organization should be listed here.
