An online petition asking the Washington Commanders to revert back to their original team name, the Washington Redskins, has reached well over 100,000 signatures and is on its way to being one of the most signed petitions for an online website.

The petition was first started on June 21, and as of Wednesday morning, it has reached 105,186 signatures, 6,276 of which were signed on Wednesday. Once the petition reaches 150,000 signatures, it will become one of the most signed petitions on Change.org.

There have been several campaigns on the website that ended up becoming real, such as a petition started in 2019 asking Juneteenth to become a national holiday. That reached over 1.6 million signatures and ended up fulfilling its goal when Juneteenth was made a national holiday in 2021.

The most signed petition on the platform is one asking for justice for George Floyd, which reached over 19.6 million signatures before reaching its goal.

The petition to change the Washington Commanders back to the Washington Redskins was started by the group Native American Guardians Association, which asked the team to revert to its original name in a letter dated Aug. 7. The team decided to change its name in 2020, settling with the new name, the Commanders, in 2022.

In the letter, signed by Eunice Davidson, the group's founder and president, the group points to a poll that found that 90% of Native Americans did not find the Redskins name offensive. The group also pointed to how other sports teams, including the Kansas City Chiefs and the Chicago Blackhawks, have kept their Native American-inspired names while recognizing that the names carry "an obligation of honor and respect."

"At this moment in history, we are formally requesting that the team revitalize its relationship with the American Indian community by (i) changing the name back to 'The Redskins' which recognizes America's original inhabitants and (ii) using the team's historic name and legacy to encourage Americans to learn about, not cancel, the history of America's tribes and our role in the founding of this Great Nation," the letter reads.

The group has threatened the Commanders with a boycott "similar to what happened with Anheuser Busch" in the event the team chooses not to revert to its original name. Anheuser-Busch, the owner of Bud Light and several other beer brands, reported a nearly $400 million loss in the second quarter of this year, which has been cited by many to be from a boycott of the company following a partnership Bud Light did with transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney.

In July, after billionaire Josh Harris purchased the Washington Commanders for over $6 billion, one of the team's co-owners, Earvin "Magic" Johnson, hinted that the team could change its name again, with the new name coming as soon as next year.

"I think everything's on the table, right? Especially after this year," Johnson said. "We'll see where we are with the name, but I can't say that right now."
