WASHINGTON | FedEx asks Washington to change team nickname
American delivery service FedEx, who has owned the naming rights to the Washington football club's stadium since 1999, has publicly asked the organization to change its nickname.
“We have communicated to the team in Washington our request that they change the team name,” the company said in a statement.
In the past, Washington team owner Daniel Snyder has refused to change the ream nickname and has an additional reason to change the name. According to the Washington Post, Snyder, who is believed to be seeking a new stadium in the District of Columbia area, will not get his wish unless he agrees to change the team's nickname.

Murphy, who has been serving a prison term, was found by law enforcement officials to be in possession of the stolen rings, which he kept in a safety deposit box.
