Look, as someone whose first choice would be Redskins and whose next choices would be something to harken back to our tradition/history (Braves/Warriors), I need to chime in with another sobering aspect to this name debate. Not only is Harris banking on the fact that winning will cover up the stench of Commanders, but he's also just realistically realizing that, over time, there will be fewer and fewer of true, older Redskins fans.
Sure, some fans THOUGHT their best years were with the Skins in the 2000s following Cooley or Portis or Moss or Griffin...but those younger fans are probably very easily realizing what a good team actually looks like.
Those of us in our 40s/50s or older already knew...and those cherished memories from the 70s/80s/early-90s with the Redskins will ALWAYS be the our favorites. The problem is, each and every day there are fewer of us. Harris understands that and realizes that the complaints and cries for a better name will only get quieter and quieter as we die off or become apathetic.
