That was basketball legend and new part-owner of the Washington Commanders franchise Ervin “Magic” Johnson hinting at the possibility that he may change the team’s name again. Under Snyder, the Washington franchise weathered several controversies including allegations of a toxic workplace culture, particularly for female employees, as well as a ticketing scam investigation and assertions that the team’s previous nickname has a racially insensitive meaning.
“We know how valuable the employees are, because they make it run every single day. And so we’re going to hire the best people,” Johnson said. “We already got a lot of great people. So this year it’s about listening, watching and really learning.” “I’m going to excel not only for myself and my family, but for all African Americans, making sure we can see ourselves in these seats,” said Johnson.
