Of course its an unfair comparison but the statement was that whenever someone buys a team they have the ability to change the name because they spent a boatload of of $. That's just not true.

I personally do not believe Danny is going anywhere. I hope I am wrong. So this is all just conjecture.
Having said that, if Snyder is going to be removed, that time is coming soon. Since that time is soon, the paint on anything Commanders is still dry. Throw in that the name is widely considered lackluster.
So, new owner comes in. What better way to kick things off then to ditch this silly name and get a better one? Also serves to relegate the Danny era to the trash heap.
Silly? Sure, a bit. But no sillier than what some other teams have done such as multiple relocations or erecting statues to criminals.
Dreaming? Most certainly. But so is thinking that if the Commanders just get a decent QB, they will flourish, Snyder notwithstanding. The last quarter century clearly disproves that.
Dreams are all we have left my Irish friend.
