It is the legacy of the 80s that I personally have held onto, along with a decade (2001-2010) of defending Snyder for trying to run the team like a fan might. But at this point, it's clear he is not just a bad owner - he is a classless individual. It is further clear by the name choice that he and the organization have a sheep's eye view of the fans. Their rationale of not wanting to subject the fanbase to a protracted trademark battle is sheer bs. This fanbase took the defense of the name Redskins to our very core, and would have likely done so for a trademark battle that was winnable/settleable.

I get that some, maybe most on here are content to see Snyder lead his little ego and commanders down the same road, further deteriorating what was a proud franchise. I simply know that when the name commanders is announced, I will personally do more soul searching if this is the team and ownership that deserves the loyalty I have shown for over 45 years(since I was 8yrs old).

I hear year you I've been a fan since I was in 2'nd grade(I'm 60 now). I will continue to root for them but simple call them Washington or the Redskins. Would love to snyder forced to sell the tram but I don't think that will happen unless more and more crap that congress gets involved with keeps turning up.
