re: Why are the Redskins getting so much heat?

off topic, but whatever side you're on, you're in for a long wait if you think they're changing the name

look at the comments on this article and how they were upvoted and downvoted...not necessarily a scientific approach, but I think it is fairly indicative of how the NFL CONSUMER feels

and I hate to tell you that is the #1 thing Snyder and all of the owners will consider when approaching this topic.

The owners are businessmen first, that's how they came to be able to own NFL teams in the first place...corporate sponsors, networks, vendors, etc. aren't going to protest as long as the NFL brand is this untouchable. shite the NFL could dump the networks and make the whole fricking thing a subscription based PPV type deal and make even more money. These guys think they can get big stars to give them a cut of their tour revenue for the privilege to perform at the SB...32 guys who know they're on top and have all the leverage with anyone they deal with

personally I think they'll start trending downwards...it's oversaturation and I believe the changes are going to start slowly turning people off. When their branding takes a hit, that's when this whole thing will ratchet up again, and the NFL may yield, who knows
