I think he may also be selling the team, to be honest. I think this whole process has pissed him off enough to where he wants out. He flat out said (in all CAPS, as I remember), that he would NEVER change the name of the team. I think he saw the writing on the wall... meaning he felt enough heat to where he knew the NFL would pull the rug out from under him, Donald Sterling style. I bet he sells the team as soon as the name change is announced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think going with the Redtails is a no brainer. It brings no heat from anyone, they are honoring true heros and it seems like it would be super easy to brand and market. The logo could be cool as hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our local (which I run) imploded during the past couple of weeks, as several guys are swearing off the NFL this season (if not permanently). This is just the same thing on a larger scale.

I'm pretty much to the point where I really couldn't care less if they have a season or not. Even if they do I think it's going to be an incredible cluster****. I hate it for all the people who work for the NFL and businesses who rely on them, but from a league standpoint I honestly don't think I'd miss it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaft Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Well, most of these names were trademarked years ago for little money. Someone might get a big payday if the "last place burgundy and gold team" were to choose one the more popular names. Like I said before, just chose an animal or inanimate object. Even if you do "redtails," what's going to happen when a fan walks in with black or brown face trying to look like the logo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The longer this Corona thing goes on the more people realize that they don't need sports in their lives. We've all found other outlets.

They have all the teams split onto 2 sites, locked down and everyone remaining (coaches, g.m., players, bus drivers, etc) are being tested daily till the season is done. I've caught the occasional nfl game being replayed, can't stomach repeating baseball games (was slow enough the 1st time) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I havent missed baseball much although some diversion would be good occasionally. Hockey I dont really care that much despite playing growing up. NFL I care about more but if they can't play they can't play. Following what the NHL is doing will be tough for 4-5x as many people (rosters, coaches, trainers) and doing it for months and months. Virtual lockdown conditions for months sounds like that would suck to me, if that's what they have to do, and I have to doubt how good compliance will be.

rajncajn Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 (edited) Supposedly some big, damaging news story is going to come out of Washington today unrelated to the name change. Usually I'd say something like this is just overdramatization, but there seems to be a lot of unusual things happening. https://nypost.com/2020/07/15/a-washington-bombshell-is-coming-and-its-not-about-redskins/ https://wjla.com/sports/washington-redskins/something-fishy-team-formerly-known-as-the-redskins Edited July 16, 2020 by rajncajn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMD Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 This could be interesting. Toxic culture at Redskins that is going to apparently revive the "me too" thing. Quote Front office and team personnel f***ing media members in exchange for scoops and leaks. Protecting leadership, coaches, players from getting in trouble with their wives, etc and then using that information for blackmail, leaks and to keep people obedient (Gruden, Allen, McLovin). Quote what's to understand? the team made multiple women sign NDA's and paid them off after he sexually harassed or assaulted them. This isn't news if you've been remotely paying attention to the team. Its the entire front office culture there and has been for over a decade.
