The fact that we even know who he is tells you all you need to know about what a shit head Snyder is by pushing people out in front of him to take all the heat while he fucks things up behind the curtain. I'd be shocked if anyone could name who runs the business side of any other team in the league off the top of their head.
If you didn't like how the new name was handled, ok. It wasn't super smooth especially the roll-out. But he never said the fans were going to pick the name. His job was to engage the fans and welcome their input, but let's be clear, nobody ever said the fans would get to choose the name.
And let's be honest here, Snyder was going to pick the name in the end. His team, his money, his decision 110%. So if you really believe Snyder is the puppet master and Wright is just a "lackey", why are you mad at Wright when we all know this was Snyder's mess all along?
I think Wright is a good guy doing the best he can in a really shitty situation. He hasn't hid in the shadows and refused to do interviews the way Allen did. He's been open to correcting blatant mistakes like with the team crest and the recent ST tribute.
A lot of speculation out there from those in the know that think he was put in place by the league. I think he's done the best job he can considering the shit storm constantly swirling around the team.

A lot of good points there, but he still doesn't get a pass from me. Too many blunders on the business side for him to get a pass. Yes, Dan is still to blame for all of it as he is the man at the top, but maybe the reason we can't come up with names for who runs the business side of any other teams in the league is because there's no other team in the league that fails as miserably at it - over and over.
Honestly, doesn't matter to me anymore if this sale is for real. Hopefully the house is cleansed from top to bottom, and the new owner hires competent people who care about the history of this franchise as much as its future.
