Well they weren't named the Bullits, but you have to understand that pro basketball is not the number one team in the DC area. Is like if they changed the name of the NY Rangers vs. changing the name of the Yankees. I'm sure some people cared, but changing the name of the Bullets/Wizards won't have the same reaction as changing the name of the Redskins.

Pesonally, I thought changing the name of Bullets was ridiculous, as I don't think changing the name made any difference in the crime that happens in DC.
