Short answers, pulled from the story.
The city of Boston awarded a National Football League franchise to American businessman George Preston Marshall on the 9th of July 1932. The team was initially named the Boston Braves and shared Braves Field with the baseball team of the same name.
Marshall decided to move the team due to a lack of interest from fans after five years in Boston where professional football had little traction compared to college sports. In 1937, the franchise relocated to Washington, D.C., and arranged to share Griffith Stadium with the Washington Senators.
Washington became the final professional American football franchise to integrate in 1962 following warnings from Secretary of the Interior Stewart Udall two months into the Kennedy administration on the 24th of March 1961. Bobby Mitchell became the first Black player to sign a contract with the Redskins and led the league with 11 touchdowns that year.
John Riggins gained the go-ahead touchdown on fourth down and won the Super Bowl MVP award while placekicker Mark Moseley became the only placekicker in NFL history to be named Most Valuable Player that same year. The 1983 season saw the team score an NFL record 541 points with quarterback Joe Theismann named the 1983 NFL MVP.
In July 2020, the team announced it would retire the Redskins name and logo following racial unrest triggered by the murder of George Floyd before rebranding as the Commanders in 2022. Ron Rivera was hired as head coach and Jason Wright became team president, the first Black person named to that position in NFL history.
