Actually that's something I've said, it might of been best to say the name must change once it changes ownerships, because based on his current history, Snyder will screw up any brand, and that's when you least want to start a new brand.

Of the people that didn't inherit their team from their parents, he seems like he might be the last guy you want running your brand, considering NFL fandom maps have been showing he's been losing fan territory for over a decade. And I don't think it has anything to do with the name, but how the brand is being run. Hell, even if the owners that inherit their team, he's still quite low (I might have Bengals owner lower).

Think that's a lot of fuck-ups and misfires? Look again at the date of the article: November 19, 2010!! That doesn't include anything from the past decade!!

They missed my favorite part of this story. Supposedly scouts are forbidden from watching other teams practices UNLESS they're charging money to watch, so when Snyder decided this, reportedly all the NFC East rivals had multiple scouts there daily!

Also the one and Snyder not understanding the cap, absolutely, for a while there, year after year after year, they were sign the most over hyped FA player, as if all they knew about football was what the hype was... and nothing about the actual football.

Also the one about firing Nov Turner... he was Ron Rivera offensive coordinator in Carolina... after a couple swings and misses for offensive coaches. I was surprised he didn't bring him with him, and Snyder firing him years ago, might explain it, of course it's Norv's son now as OC.

Daniel Snyder, from what I've seen, owns his NFL Franchise because it is a good investment. He is like some other sports team owners that don;t care if his team wins or loses as long as the revenue stream does not dry up. He will change the team name, but is more concerned with the legal and marketing aspects rather than what any fans want. The current delay must be about copyright rights .

FedEx threatens to take down signage at FedEx field.
Now...FedEx paid for the naming rights in 1999. I guess “Washington Redskins” name was just fine back then. So in 20 years it’s suddenly so horrible, they want to remove their name. They are under contract for 6 more years. Who would lose then if Snyder refuses to change the name? FedEx would still have to honor the contract and pay each year.
My point in this is: FedEx doesn’t give a damn about the Redskins name. It’s all about trying to look good to the politically correct group by jumping on the bandwagon. As was said earlier, it’s all about the money.
I would seriously like to know, how many native Americans really care about the name. Is it 50%, 5%, 1%?
As they say, the squeaky wheel gets the oil. So even if it’s a really low percentage, they can bully their way to get their way.
I really don’t care if the name is changed or not. It won’t affect my life either way. It’s just interesting to watch the ping pong match.

Redwolves has also become popular with the fans.

I'm not sure if I should take this serious, but one Twitter pert is claiming that Yahoo's Charles Robinson said the name change is supposed to happen in the next couple of days.

And today is not the announcing of a new name. It is announcing that Redskins is no longer going to be used for the Washington football club. At least, that's how I've read everything being thrown out there about this topic.

It's a good year to have a new nickname. It seems many teams changed their uniforms, so why not change your whole nickname!!

Anyone read this article? Some tidbits I didn't know.

wpr (8-May) : HAHAHA Mucky Comment of the day.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : According to reports, Mel Kiper is furious that Sanders wasn't selected as the new Pope

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Time taken to get picked:

Zero2Cool (8-May) : New Pope: 2 days | Shedeur Sanders: 3 days

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Collin Whitchurch @cowhitchurch · 1h Chicago got a pope before it got a QB to throw for 4,000 yards in a season.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : New Pope from Chicago; in other words, the city produced a Pope before a 4000 yard passer

beast (7-May) : My first name starts with R and my beer belly is quite voluptuous! Thank you for noticing 😏

Zero2Cool (7-May) : And now some Packers blogger is like Doubs to Steelers makes sense!!!!

Zero2Cool (7-May) : You saw me Tweet???

Zero2Cool (4-May) : S2?

beast (4-May) : Seems like the S2 has a love/hate relationship with professional scouts.

beast (4-May) : In theory, the S2 test how quickly a QBs brain can solve game like issues and how quickly they can do it.

dfosterf (4-May) : Are you gentlemen and at least one lady familiar with the S2 cognition

Zero2Cool (4-May) : Maybe there isn't an issue.

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : Packers are exercising the fifth-year option on DT Devonte Wyatt, locking in a guaranteed $12.9M for the 2026 season.

beast (30-Apr) : Sounds like P Luke Elzinga has a rookie try out opportunity from the Titans

dfosterf (30-Apr) : Luke Elzinga Punter Oklahoma stil unsigned. Green Bay has been mentioned as good fit
