Skins getting heat again over name issue

Feel dumb now?

Piss off. The beltway connects the entire metro area. The land is cheaper and located to the most wealthy Northern Virginia suburbs. Skins are in Richmond/Ashburn already as a training center.

This is a perfect opportunity for Virginia to make an offer. The way the Washington Press and fan base have treated the Skins lately, Dan shouldn't have any compunction if the deal is close. That or do a Baltimore Colts end run and bug out all together. I sure wouldn't blame him.

The Stadium has been the opposing team's home field for years. Disgusting.

I honestly think they would. NoVa is just a beast of an area with growth and population boom. Good economics with the fed govt and tech companies.

On the MD side .. lets be real. Ravens are just growing more and more popular. At this point, I think the Skins make more money from VA residents than MD. And its only growing. In 20 years the skins will be so dependent on VA.

It makes sense as well. MD has the Ravens. No secret they add the MD flag into their logo to try and lure MD skins fans. Like when Angelos took Baltimore off the front of their jerseys and put Orioles to be more inviting to DC area fans.

The future of the Skins (or whatever they will be called) is in NoVa. At some point, perhaps 15-30 years from now when DS sells the team, I could see them dropping the "Washington" as well and adopting a Virginia name if not Virginia itself.

First "redskins" is changed.
Second, stadium is moved to VA.
Third, team drops Washington and replaces it with Virginia. Give it 30-40 years imo.

In my Redskins collection is a paperback bio of George Allen. Gives his basic bio and then focuses on the Super Bowl season. Anyway, one part has him inviting the then Governor of Virginia to a practice at then new Redskins Park. When the Gov speaks to the press, he intentionally calls them the "Virginia Redskins."

People from Virginia can go to DC or Maryland to watch pro sports. They been doing for a while now anyway.

Well as of today no team is in Virginia, and they had several opportunities to get a pro sports franchise. But it looks like right now you haven't beaten out the DC/Baltimore market to get a pro sports team. So what do you have to say about that?

I could see that especially as that area grows. Once again needing to be smart. You dump the Washington designation you are opening up to a team moving in. It is hard to imagine the NFL being okay without a franchise with Washington being the identity (at least right now).

In the spirit of name changes and thinking of what I think about with Virginia and Virginia residents here are my new name choices.

1. Squires
2. Fancy pants (basically a squire)
3. The Pink Polos

I'll keep an eye out for that when I'm between 102 and 112 years old.

Oh as far the Ravens in Maryland, everything has to do with winning. When DC starts winning consistently we can revisit that topic.

Snyder Snyder...

The Squires were an ABA team back in the 70s.

I suggest moving the team out of any democratic or liberal run state or district period!
