I dont think its about DS caving or the Skins/NFL placating the other side. I think this meeting is to begin to develop a unified message so that DS and the NFL can change the Skins name all the while maintaining that the word Redskins isnt a slur.
I also think they are going to get together on how to market the new name and logo to maximize the huge profits that are guaranteed to come from this change. This change is going to be a huge win-win for everybody.
If they change the name and logo that means all of that history goes away right? I mean it should

Why? Its still the same team, players, organization, and city. Nothing changes except a nickname, logo, and maybe colors.

Woah woah woah. Their is no reason to change colors or a logo and nobody is asking them to do so. Also - again - this is just a dog and pony show by Snyder and the league to make the few people who are upset about a dumb nickname think that their "problem" is as important as the real problems in the world.
Personally I think the Dan can put this whole thing to bed if he throws up a few casino's on Oneida turf and hires all the combatants.............

Goodell is meeting with the Oneida nation soon, so it makes sense for him to talk with Snyder first and get his take on things

I think so too although it might be too late for that strategy.
If we must change, don't change the colors! B&G for life!

DS and the NFL will make a ton of money from this name change and that will be the the reason for the change not because they think the name is a slur. These kinds of releases are put out to make it look like DS is fighting the good fight to keep the Redskins name. In the end $ will win the day.

It will cost several million to change the name, they won't just be making a ton of money by changing it.

How would changing your brand that is already well marketed and established world wide for decades going to make you a ton of money?
