The Washington Commanders are a professional American football team based in the Washington metropolitan area. Formerly known as the Washington Redskins, the team competes in the National Football League as a member of the National Football Conference East division. The team plays its home games at FedExField in Landover, Maryland; its headquarters and training facility are in Ashburn, Virginia. The team has played more than 1,000 games and is one of only five in the NFL with more than 600 total wins. Washington was among the first NFL franchises with a fight song, "Hail to the Commanders” (formerly “Hail to the Redskins” from 1937–2019), which is played by their marching band after every touchdown scored by the team at home. The franchise is valued by Forbes at US $5.6 billion, making them the league's sixth-most valuable team as of 2022. The team was founded in 1932 as the Boston Braves, changing its name to the Redskins the following year before moving to Washington, D.C., in 1937. The Redskins branding was seen as pejorative by many for decades. In 2020, pressure from several NFL and team sponsors led to its being retired as part of a wave of name changes in the wake of the George Floyd protests, and mainly because of awareness of the Native American mascot controversy revived by the aforementioned protests. The team played as the Washington Football Team for two seasons before rebranding as the Commanders in 2022.
