As for the name change, quick can't happen as they have to wait 5 years minimum. Redskins will not happen either. Too many whiny white folk protecting the natives that don't want protecting. Maybe get to bring back the logo and uniform for throw backs someday if they can do something nice for the native community. But the name is not coming back.

That being said, by end of next off season Wright will not be on the staff. Mark my words.

Well you're the one that said that some random article says that Wright is being kept in the dark and that his days are numbered. If that's the case, what was the point of retaining him? That was basically my way of saying that the article you read was probably BS.

And yeah, everyone will probably be gone by next season or maybe they work out and are retained, who knows.

I think it is fair to give everyone in the organization to prove themselves, and it may be easier for all aspects of the team to be better when you don't have an owner that is actively destroying the team like Snyder.

Well I still predict this will be Wrights and the "Commanders" final season.

Just want to remind everyone waiting 5 years is a myth (We'd still be WFT otherwise).

Everyone, including the NFL, knew that was a placeholder name. And given that the team was just sold, it technically gives the new ownership the opportunity to rename the team.

However, it will not happen right away because the ownership have other priorities in where to spend their money (fan experience, stadium improvements, etc., etc.).

If they want to change the name, money is 100% not going to stop them. That is just ridiculous. You have an ownership group of several people and all of them have billions- except Majic, who is the poor one at around 600 million.
The money they will spend changing the name is chump change to the ownership group.

I wish you could do a true fan poll, where only actual fans of the team can vote, and vote once. Then just give it to the winner. Even if I hated the name, I would still ride with it.

But people will cheat, and other team's fans, will vote for dumbass shit like Pennyloafers, just to try and mess it up.

They could run a sale of season tickets, but you have to buy three years' worth (or something like that) and say that at the end of that sale season ticket owners get to pick the name from a list of owner-approved choices (say 5 of them).

It would go back to Redskins if they did that, and I can't see that being allowed to happen.

i costs a bit upfront, but with merchandise sales of the new gear, its a financial windfall if done right. Even Snyder profited from the name change to WFT and then to the Commanders and that process was done HORRIBLY!!

[skinsfaninok]

Commanders isn't changing, if it was they would be announcing it by now.. Why would they keep it for another full season and then after 2 years change everything again? Just keep it, yes its bland but win games first

I like it. Don't care if it's not Redskins either. We enjoyed the ride, lets make a new brand and hopefully associate it with some winning this time around.
