Rumors circulating about Jeff Bezos buying the team

[Ruhskins]

Given the financial state of the team, I'm rooting for Bezos to buy the team. I feel like he can just write a check to deal with some immediate problems.

I do like what Josh Harris has done with the 76ers though.

I just can't believe that this is actually happening. Hopefully it'll bring some of the fans back. I still feel kinda lukewarm to the team but that's just me...

I think a lot of fans feel the same way. I'm just glad that it seems like it's going to happen, and I would be REALLY happy if the new owner did a "re-brand" after this season. I feel like as long as I hear "commanders"...it's always going to be a reminder of Snyder. Maybe the Rales/Harris guys having lived in DC are familiar with what Snyder has done to the franchise and would realize the fans would want a new name and look that leaned more to the past...but maybe that's a small percentage of us.

I agree. Whoever buys the team should rebrand. There were a lot of options suggested by the fans. Sentinels & Redwolves/Wolves were my favorites.

The adrenaline shot lukewarm or completely AWOL fans will get after hearing the announcement the sale is being completed:

Let's hope the timeline is narrowing and this deal gets done in the next 2 weeks. I believe it's possible, maybe even probable, and that is amazing to me. My bet is on Bezos at this point, but I would be happy with either Bezos or the dual team of Rales/Harris. I see the Rales/Harris news as one last effort by Snyder to ratchet up the sales price, more than an actual new entry into it. That is just his MO.

Whatever the outcome, I think we won't know for a few years if the grass will be greener, or just less of a shitty brown color.

It can’t be worse. And if it somehow is, I’ll be rooting for another team anyway.

Matty suggested Washington FC like a million years ago. Still a personal favorite, and yes, I do think the new ownership should revisit the name.

Take command!

and tuddy.

I don't like soccer at all (unless it's the World Cup), but I like original names. I could get down with Washington FC. I even liked Washington Football Team (definitely better than Commanders).

I prefer the WFC. I liked how it was plain and you see many soccer teams doing it so why not.

I'd rather have Washington FC than Commanders. At least WFC would be original. It also has an old school feel that I think would reflect well on a team that's been around since the 30's.

While I still don't see a problem with Redskins I do think the Washington FC was a good alternative. Keep the same uni's. I did like the yellow helmet in the old days .

This is how I feel with the idea of another name change

Get ready for that toll then because I just can't see any new owner keeping anything that Snyder created.
