In any event, his incompetence and arrogance and outright criminality probably shaved billions off what this franchise could have been worth if cared for properly. Proud Washington franchise? It was last franchise who was willing to sign black players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite their many problems under Dan Snyder, Washington remains a cornerstone NFL franchise. that remains to be seen. They have lost at least 50% of their fan base due to snyder. With a stadium that is a complete dump and probably a long shot at the playoffs it seems like that is going to take a while before they are anywhere near what that franchise was. Now if they build a new stadium and their new qb works out and they win the division in the next couple of years I bet a lot of those old fans would come back.

They need a new stadium and likely are going to re-brand given fan reaction to the Commanders. Agreed. The Commanders is a terrible name.

There are only 32 teams in the NFL; 2. They rarely go up for sale; 3. They always increase in value; 4. There's always a multi-billionaire who's willing to overspend for a toy.
