(UPI) – The Washington Football Team, which dropped its controversial nickname last year, has banned Native American garb from its home stadium starting this season.
The team announced Wednesday that fans are banned from wearing Native American headdresses or face paint to games at FedEx Field.
Washington will hold a training camp practice Friday at the stadium, with about 20,000 fans expected to attend the session. It will be the biggest crowd at the stadium since the Football Team's home finale in 2019, meaning it will be the largest gathering at FedEx Field since the franchise dropped its old name in July 2020.
