UConn James Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Red Wolves or Redtails were the best options and Snyder was too cheap, spineless, and/or stupid to make it happen. Red Wolves / Redwolves was a copyright problem with the NBA’s Timberwolves? Bah. 🦓 💩. There are / were teams with literally the same name in major sports leagues & colleges. Jets. Oilers. Cowboys (Dallas, Oklahoma State). Kings (Sacramento, LA). Half of the CFL is some form of Rough Riders. Bulls (Chicago, NYC Red Bulls). I could go on if I had had some caffeine this morning. If I were a new owner, I’d make sure to scrub 🧽🧼🪣 anything Dan Snyder was involved in. Going back to Redskins is a nonstarter, financially speaking. Trademark office and the courts iirc ruled that a trademark will not be allowed for the word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree I would fixed that nonsense move the Washington NBA team back as the Baltimore Bullets and move the Washington NFL team to Virginia and call them the Virginia Squires in Red, White and Blue. You can’t do sports business in Washington, D.C. anymore without the politics move both the teams along the the Washington Nationals MLB back to Montreal as the Montreal Expos and move the Washington Capitals NHL to Hartford as the Hartford Whalers problem solved at least the teams would be appreciated in those areas in my opinion.

billsfan89 Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Snyder is the James Dolan of the NFL (although Dolan has finally stayed out of meddling in team operations and cleaned up the organization a bit since 2015) only somehow more toxic. Getting rid of him is only a positive for the league and a long starved loyal fanbase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans don't stay away--prices on secondary market were still crazy. The change in ownership high will fade quickly. 35 minutes ago, Ned Flanders said: Just getting rid of Snyder is good enough for now...the disdain for this individual here cannot be measured. I guess so. But why would it make fans more likely to see the team that will be fielded--because when they look toward the owner's box, someone else will be there? This team has many actual problems. Bad man as owner wasn't really one as far as performance is concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
