Doc Posted August 12, 2020 Posted August 12, 2020 I have to believe that getting fans to come out is gonna be a tough sell. Stay safe at home and watch it just fine on TV...or pay a ton to go to the games and risk getting sick? 2 1

As of now, the state of Texas allows 50 percent capacity for sporting events. ... good for Jerruh. never really cared for the man but i'm glad at least one of the owners has the balls to do what's right. 3 1

Also discovered there’s multiple Globetrotters teams that tour different regions instead of just the one real squad, and it definitely showed. So many bricks.

I read an article that interviewed companies and groups involved with re-naming processes and the biggest take from this was don't rush into anything, and that these types of processes typically take close to a year to decide on a name. And if you do decide much faster than that, you probably didn't do a very good job of thinking through it carefully was what I got out of this article.

If owner is intelligent he will be quiet about it and get his trademark name in before he announces he is going to change name.

CNYfan Posted August 13, 2020 Posted August 13, 2020 There was an African American referee who announced a few years back, when the last time the race sensitivity thing came up with Wash, who stated that throughout his career he had never used the pejorative on his microphone when announcing a call. He had always said "The Washington Football Team". Bad with names but built guy, made the gym quite a bit. There was also a writer a decade back who referred to the WFT as "The Potomac River Basin Indigenous Persons.".

It’s Texas... he’ll get however many fans state guidelines allow. fwiw, I would absolutely rock a mask and go to a game - especially in open aired stadiums. 2
