Snyder (the absolute worst owner in all of sports) to stay on a owner

We're definitely going down a rabbit hole here though. Chances of getting a new owner any time soon are slim, and then chances that the new owner would change the name right off the bat are even slimmer.

Can't wait until they figure out what they are doing at QB.

So you are saying that if someone comes in and buys the Chicago Bears and feels like changing the name the NFL would let him?! You're dreaming.

I think we are getting our hopes up w/ Snyder. I hope I am wrong but we are most likely stuck w/ him and his wife until they die off. By that time I may be dead myself.. lol.

Sure the other owners are sick and tired of him but I just don't see that it gets to the point where they vote him out. They all have shit that they've most likely done to women that they don't want getting out. Didn't Jerry Jones have some compromising pics leak out a few years ago? It just opens a can of worms that probably no one wants - but like I said I hope I'm wrong.

We're stuck w/ Commanders, new owner or not. That piece of shit, generic low rent re-brand is here to stay. We either deal w/ it or check out. I have checked out, as have many others.

That is a rather unfair comparison.

An iconic name of an iconic franchise vs a brand new and boring name of a damaged franchise.

If someone bought the Bears and then tried to change their name, their press and fans would crucify him.

In contrast, if someone bought the Commanders and changed the name to <insert your favorite>, he would be nominated for sainthood.

No they wouldn't. Again, that's just wishful thinking from people who are still bitching about the name change. Any name, no matter which one, would have resulted in the same reaction: some people like it, majority would have hated it and ridiculed it.

It's funny that after having a terrible owner who was involved in everything. Some fans want another owner who is involved in everything because they are still pouting about the name change.

Maybe we'll get an owner that wants to change the team colors. See how stupid that sounds?

It is wishful thinking. I myself described it all as "moot".

Other than that, I think you are incorrect. There were several names that were much better than Commanders including the one that came between it and Redskins.

I am glad you like the name. But a good many of us- perhaps a majority- simply do not like it and we have stated the reasons why. Having a different opinion than you does not constitute, 'bitching'.

And Danny as changed the team colors (adding black). I agree with you -- Stupid.

I don't know how much of it is wishful thinking, and how much is just speculation. I think the important story is wether or not Snyder gets booted out. Still unlikely but less and less unlikely by the minute. And I do think it's not absurd to think a new owner would enjoy renaming the team.

Is it a very serious conversation about a very likely event? Definitely not. But it's that time of the year, SB's over, still some time before FA and draft, every body is playing armchair GM, speculating about trades and signings that will never happen... it's rambling season, ain't it?

They might be nominated for sainthood right up until they chose a name like River Rats, or Storm Clouds. You are dreaming if you think any owner cares about what team name the fans want. They will work with the NFL to come up with whatever name can get a trademark.

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.

No truer statement has ever been posted on this site.

He is moving down stream a good ways!
I wonder if he is fine with the view or will he cut down more trees ?

Bears, probably not...but we're not talking about the Bears here.

I'm just saying that no one would spend that kind of money to purchase an NFL franchise - with the intent of changing the name, if they didn't already have the assurance that they could do that.

Would anyone go into the process of purchasing an NFL franchise, including this one, with that intent? Probably not. I think the Commanders is here to stay.

There is 0% chance that part of the purchase agreement is the "option to rename the team". The NFL owns the logos and trademarks, not the team and there's no way the NFL would entertain the chance a name/logo change could occur every time a team changes owners.

Nobody's talking about all the names/logos changing every time an NFL team changes ownership. This started with the possibility of Snyder being forced out, a new owner coming in, and the question as to whether it is possible that new owner would have any intent on changing the name. I think it is not likely that would happen, but it's probably more than a 0% chance. After all, this team has had three different names in the last three years.
