Hail to Washington Walmart

Welcome!

What you say makes sense, unless he can recoup in licensing fees from a "name brand" what he would lose in licensing fees by owning the name. I don't know what the numbers are, so I can't say if that's a likely scenario or not.

definitely. i mean regardless of "love" for a team, changing the name would instantly cause people to lose the connection they have with the team. not necessarily making them worse fans, but if the skins had to change their name it would be horrible. its got a LOT of tradition behind it.

not only that, if you want to be pissed, i mean the cowboys must be upset also. REAL cowboys are pretty wholesome guys and NOT crack users.

So when the P.C. police finally get to Danny Boy and force him to change the team name, does anyone think that he'll go this route and just sell the team name to the highest bidder?

A co-worker and I think that in a few years we could be signing "Hail to the Walmart!" on Sundays.

Some other idea: Washington Fightin' Goldenpalacecasino.com
Exxon Mobil Drillers of Washington
Washington Haliburton Shotguns
Washington Ronald McDonald's presented by Coca-Cola
The Pepsi Generation NeXt of Washington
The Ragin' Trump Real Estates of Washington

ok, I need to get back to work before I get fired, but any other suggestions?

I for one will be rooting for my Washington Pep Boys with pride.

Danny Boy better not sell to amazon.com. The Washington Amazons sounds a little gay.

If I were rich I'd pull a move like the Charolette Bobcats owner did and name the team after myself (his name is Bob, not Bobcat).

Hail to the Scotts, Hail Vic-tor-y!
Scotts on the Warpath, Fight for Ole D.C.

It brings a tear to my eye just to think about it.

Given how much Redbull is planning to pump into the league, I guess it's an ok deal for MLS. But it is pretty silly.

Wonder how long before other teams and sports follow suit? Also, I'm still surprised that the NFL, NBA, etc haven't sold uniform advertising like they have in Soccer. There's lots of money in that--when people buy their team's jerseys, they buy the advertisement as well.

USA Germany 2006!!!

Kinda surprised the skins dont have Fed Ex on their uniforms yet!

The team will change its name when the term 'redskin' becomes offensive to the fan base here in the DC metro area. If this were Oklahoma, it would be a more sensitive matter. But it's not, so it isn't.

Some people don't seem to understand that 'Washington Redskins' is ingrained in the culture of the area. We are all Redskins. It's all positive. Most of my heros are Redskins. To change the name is to give up the fight song. Oh H311 no, no, no. Hail to the Googles just doesn't work.

Someday the fundamental croud will go after the Washington Wizards for devil worship.
