BarleyNY Posted March 24, 2021 Posted March 24, 2021 22 minutes ago, DrDawkinstein said: Almost unbelievably, the EXACT OPPOSITE just happened this morning! I am SHOCKED by this news of Snyder buying out the minority holders. The NFL just wrapped their own investigation into the WFT and its past issues, and the League's report concluded with a recommendation that the NFL forces Snyder to sell the team. And now the opposite is happening, and is approved by the league. WTF WFT! WOW! I’m absolutely stunned. Even for the NFL that’s effed up. 2
Simon Posted March 24, 2021 Posted March 24, 2021 Fair warning; Your opinions on politics and how pussified this country is have NO place here. My tolerance for it is currently at zero. 3 1 2 2
Warcodered Posted March 24, 2021 Posted March 24, 2021 Got to wait to use it as a distraction for the next time a story comes out about the horrible Front Office.

Potential buyers would definitely rather deal with one owner than multiple owners. Could be. I saw that mentioned elsewhere as well. But wont put anything past Snyder.
Locomark Posted March 24, 2021 Posted March 24, 2021 Maybe the Sabres should change their name to Buffalo Shabby Hockey Squad for next year.... 2

I had been thinking the League has told Snyder he must sell the team, and they want the new owners to pick the new name. Give the franchise an entire clean slate and fresh start. If Jauronimo is right, and the buyout of minority holders is to prep for a sale, it would make sense.

There was much to study and then things like gear being lined up both for players and sale, etc. NBA’s New Orleans team changed from Hornets to Pelicans. 1 hour ago, Locomark said: Maybe the Sabres should change their name to Buffalo Shabby Hockey Squad for next year.... Schitty instead of Shabby 1

Figster Posted March 24, 2021 Posted March 24, 2021 (edited) Adopt the George Washington football team, works for me. Already a connection with the colonials. Silver Quarters on the helmets with George's masculine profile. Kinda goes with the territory and who's to complain... Edited March 24, 2021 by Figster 1
Stanley Lombardi Posted March 25, 2021 Posted March 25, 2021 'Washington Football Team' is a middle-finger to the NFL, it's minimalist, it exudes attitude, and it pisses off all the people Snyder wants to piss off. It's a flat-out grand slam. 2 1
CaptnCoke11 Posted March 25, 2021 Posted March 25, 2021 I think most sensible people understand why they won’t pick a name
JohnNord Posted March 25, 2021 Posted March 25, 2021 They need a name “Washington Football Team” is just goofy.
YoloinOhio Posted March 25, 2021 Posted March 25, 2021 Maybe already mentioned but i believe There is a fan vote going on right now to name the team.

They are like the team name version of the Browns' helmets. I love the Football Team “name”. Like everything, things go in cycles and right now new mascot names are typically just boring and cliche. Simple is better, and this is about as simple as you can get

I love hearing people struggle to phrase "the Football Team" in conversations. I love everything about it. It reminds me of the original Tecmo Bowl for Nintendo when the NFL didn’t let them use the actual team names.
Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted March 25, 2021 Posted March 25, 2021 On 3/24/2021 at 5:49 AM, Rk_Bills86 said: 2) As mentioned, the team is most likely going to be up for sale, and it is not everyday that a new owner gets to walk into owning a new team and be welcomed to changing it's name. There is a rumor that Bezos wants to buy the team and many feel that if he does buy the team they could be renamed to the Washington Primes. 0% chance the name would be the "Primes". Too much conflict of interest with Prime also deeply involved in game broadcasting. Just stick with Football Team. It's original and simple.
Boxcar Posted March 25, 2021 Posted March 25, 2021 1 hour ago, TheyCallMeAndy said: Washington Warriors, boom done. Warriors, Wolves, Senators, Thrushes (DC official bird, kinda lame though), Stars, Cougars (more cat teams!), Leopards. Not good names: Redwolves, Redtails, Redstuff, Rednotskins, Reds, Redball Team, Redbulls, Redbudgets, Republicans, Democrats, Lincolns, Redgolds. Just off the top of my head. My vote is for Wolves because wolves are bad ass and don't get enough representation in pro sports.
