They seem to be speaking to not the fanbase, but to those crucifying them for the name in the past. They are taking the "blue ocean" approach, and trying to throw a wide net. All the talk of becoming a broader entertainment company goes along those lines.I think they are missing a huge opportunity to stand for something that not only reflects the DC/MD/VA area, but also honors something every American should have respect for. But hey, God forbid someone manufactures some outrage or offense.
I know our new non-football leadership are supposed to be geniuses with their finger on the pulse of the fanbase.. But they don't seem to operate like they do. If you have concerns about a particular potential name, you just don't select it. Trying to constantly rationalize and justify your hesitations with corporate speak only continues to rile up an already tired and skeptical fanbase. More often than not, less is more.
You'd think a bunch of geniuses would be able to figure that out.
I just don't think that's going to save the football team. I find myself becoming more and more checked out about them.
