I like this take, good points and I agree with you. They will always be the REDSKINS to me...at least until I see whatever they trot out as a new nickname...and then I shall see whether I buy into the new name or not. TBH I don’t want to lose our fight song. Sounds small but I think that made us unique in the entire NFL. Having our full band, pumping us all up with tunes before and after games and blasting into HTTR everytime we scored.That's where I feel you are wrong. The Wizards are the Bullets imo, always have been. PC pressure had the Bullets change their name, the team itself NEVER left town, nor did the players or coaches. Same goes for the Redskins. Players and coaches nor the team packed up (overnight) and left now did they? Nope! Same old teams using a new Sir Name to move forward only to appease those *&$#%!*@ offended by the name REDSKINS! To me, we will always be the REDSKINS and the DC basketball team will always be the BULLETS. Just the way it is in my book and just how I like it. I got onboard with the Wizards name just as I will get onboard with the new (Renegades/Raptors/Warriors) name once its decided.
I would like to suggest that it is only also fair tho, that Dad, retains his full right to feel the way he does too.
I think we can all understand the feeling of betrayal and anger at Danny for all his meddling and tearing apart of what was for a long time a storied, honorable and winning tradition and replacing this with asinine focus on squeeze as much money as possible out of an incredibly loyal fan base, try and distract them with shiny objects and abuse their trust at every turn with over priced has been players who came only for the money and to cash in.
Truth is, I believe this franchise (aka Danny Boy to me, lol) HAS made the worst decisions and is lucky to have any fans at all at this point.
Hail!
