Even here - how many fans do we have who publicly declared the name change was the last straw and they were out? Just for sample size. We got 1 guy here who says he might leave for continuity purposes.

I'd imagine the name change affected the Redskins remaining diaspora more than the local fans when I say a chunk it wouldn't surprise me if they lost 40-50% their remaining fans that didn't live in the DC area. I stuck around because my solution was to ignore the change - ie I still only call them the Redskins, and only buy and wear Redskins gear (which is obviously now customized or pirated). Although, I do have a nice Chase Young Redskins jersey, which is an official NFL version, imagine that may be worth something in a few years (got it in May 2020).
