WFT is the most bland, generic name of all teams in every possible pro sport imaginable. I just don’t understand what he’s doing. Terrible name. Snyder is a terrible owner and he should sell the team. ? You just gave me a thumbs up for explaining the reason why he did this.

That's why he did it. There's a (nearly) infinite list of names that Snyder or any pro sports team owner can settle on that would not ultimately lead them to being forced to change it. He didn't have to pick the m most generic. He was too stupid to plan for this inevitability (name change)....because he was convinced not would never happen (as he so famously said...over and over). 34 minutes ago, cba fan said: Snyder caved to financial pressure his sponsors put on him. And pressure from DC city or they would not support a new stadium in DC proper. The name change wasn't/isn't going to get him a new stadium in DC. 1

So your theory is that he didn't plan far enough in advance to pick a better name? Because it takes a long time to pick one of the infinite names available? And he can never change it again? OK. He can call it what he likes. It's his team. He'll still make gobs of money off of it.

What’s wrong with the Washington natives? Or a name that honors Native Americans? They can keep the same logo as they wish. Regardless, procrastination is the enemy of time.

Well that’s obviously false, hence this thread. Lol. But no, all he had to do was change it from a derogatory, racist name to anything else and no one would have bothered him. What could be more simple? 1 1

An owner who hired some people so they could be at his parties. You need to roll your eyes at the jerk (and a jerk will roll his eyes at this) and the fans of that team. Remember this was the last team to integrate. After Bills Superbowl my car had red and yellow tempura paint dumped on it. When I reported it to guards on military installation they said that what do you expect with Bills item in your windshield. I responded "Good sports from a winner" and they rolled their eyes at me. True children. 1
TroutDog Posted June 30, 2021 Author Posted June 30, 2021 Well this thread devolved but it’s still light years better than the Beasley thread! 😃 1
Rocky Landing Posted June 30, 2021 Posted June 30, 2021 Maybe they could change the name to Washington Wild Football, or something like that, and trademark "WWF." (That's a joke for all the trademark experts we seem to have on here...)

It does not get any more generic or lame as that. like EX: Angel City FC Austin FC Charlotte FC Chattanooga FC Cincinnati FC FC Dallas Fort Lauderdale CF Fort Wayne FC Los Angeles FC Miami FC Monterey Bay FC CF Montréal New Amsterdam FC New York City FC North Carolina FC Northern Colorado FC North Texas SC Orange County SC Queensboro FC Toronto FC FC Tucson FC Tulsa Edited July 3, 2021 by cba fan
JoPoy88 Posted July 2, 2021 Posted July 2, 2021 Based on the news that has come out in the last couple days, danny’s had more to worry about than just the new name. Of course the league covered his backside though. Big surprise 🙄

Much more involved than I thought. It's complicated because, when the pressure was again mounting--8 years ago!---to change the name, instead of then considering new names, the owner doubled down and said: "We'll never change the name," "It's that simple. NEVER — you can use caps". When Fedex and others started squeezing Snyder last year, he succumbed to the inevitable. He could have done it years before, He could have unilaterally announced; "I am changing the name of the team to......". He had many years to consider a new name. He didn't want to. He created the situation he finds himself in. Edited July 2, 2021 by Mr. WEO 1

Again no one can/will demand he change the name from "Football Team." Sure it's generic and lame, but that's what he wants, and it's not from a lack of preparation as he never wanted any of the squatter's trademarked names and had thousands of others from which to choose.

I have not heard any utterance from Synder to that fact. Interesting. PS: if he so chooses to stay with WFT many in Cleveland can breath a sigh of relief as they will be off the hook after decades of the lamest name/logo/colors. Browns: named after a white guy who high-tailed it out of town to start the Bengals, in AFL no less...lol....leaving "Browns" with "orange" helmets and no logo in the dust. 🤣🤣 Edited July 3, 2021 by cba fan

Sounds crazy, but nothing would surprise me from that scumbag. He shoulda been don sterling’ed out of the league for the BS they “investigated” instead he gets a timeout and a nominal fine. Pathetic work by the league. Of all of Goodell’s failures as a commissioner (and there are many), the report this week on everything that went on at that team over Snyder’s reign is the most disgusting to me. go bills i guess 2 2

If he’s selling as much merchandise with “Washington Football Team” as he did with the previous name, he’ll probably just keep it. Again he had many names from which to choose and chose that one. 1

Really? Then why is the team soliciting fan names and uni designs on a dedicated website? https://www.washingtonjourney.com/ Why would Snyder keep WFT when anyone can produce WFT merchandise and sell it, depriving him of millions of dollars? 1
