The Washington Redskins will announce today that they are changing their name, according to media reports Sunday night.

However, ‘Sports Business Daily,’ which first reported the news Sunday, said the new name won't be announced today because trademark issues are still pending

 After coming under pressure from prominent sponsors earlier this month, the NFL team said they were launching a “thorough review” of the name.
Meanwhile, ESPN reported that MLB’s Atlanta Braves said in an email to season-ticket holders that they won't be changing their name, but are considering whether to continue with the tomahawk chop rally motion fans do in the stands.
