“The woke movement faces a similar debacle. As they become more hyper-liberal in their values, formerly liberal societies are becoming more fearful and authoritarian. Renouncing the idea of truth for the sake of some hopeful political project isn’t just immoral. It doesn’t work.”

Redskins temporarily rebrand as ‘Washington Football Team’ On Thursday, the team formerly known as the Washington Redskins rolled out a long-awaited rebrand, except it wasn’t the name change anyone was waiting for.

Sources tell ESPN the team hopes to eradicate its name physically and digitally over the next 50 days, and will use the new name and uniforms for their first game of the season on Sept. 13. Source: ESPN
