Ok now the WFT is trying to clarify Tanya Snyder's comments on 8 name finalists - per
@AdamSchefter
- "the list of eight names is a selection of names that were highlighted in their Making the Brand video, not a final list of potential name candidates."

So basically back to what Jason said, down to three names that are not necessarily on the list of 8..... probably should just delete the last 4 pages :)

Yeah, honestly when you think about it, it would be pretty damn stupid on their part to give out ALL their final 8 candidate in a twitter video.

Definitely makes sense. I'm not sure if it's an educated guess or a news from Sheehan though.

My bad, listening to his latest pod episode right now, he says from a source.

How they should handle it is just shut up and don't say anything. They're trying to string along the fans and create a buzz and it's kinda drained itself out. I really don't even care at this point. The name change is dead to me.

In this case I am talking about reigniting passion around Redskins.

Agreed. Weirdly enough I think both can be true:
-they want to create expectations and anticipation about the new name so when it's released it's talked about.
-they are consciously making it last longer than needed, so people get tired of it and even the most adamant anti-name change and those who had a strong preference different than their final choice go "meh, at least we finally have a new name and can move on" and accept it (to various degrees and after various amounts of time).

Oh, good one. I bet they know how bad not doing better than an AAF name would look...

I don't want us to use another name of a major sports team, ala Warriors. But I don't think you can worry about if some random B-league team or minor league team or semi-pro team uses the name of has used the name previously. There are thousands of these teams, you would never be able to use any name then.

That has the Alamo in it so it won't be thay one. Hopefully if it is Commanders they use some sort of battle ship or something military related. Not just a generic sword.
