Only in this era of ****oldry would an NFL team be named this....
I disagree. It took the Rams 2+ years to develop their new logo, and that was just a minor change to an already-existing logo (and using the same team name).2. He's doing this as a passive aggressive statement, expressing his resentment at the world, like a 2 year old who doesn't want to go to bed.

Community was awesome. Perfectly silly sitcom but also well thought out. This being a good example.I nominate them to be called the Washington "Human Beings". Anybody who watched the show "Community" understands the joke. The school didn't want to offend anyone so they went the safe route. Here's their mascot.

I just don’t think it would have been feasible to have a new name and logos in place in just 2 months.
I expected Snyder to send a bigger FU, like rolling out the name Red Skins and using a potato as the mascot.
I'm with The Boston Patriot above, I don't hate it and in fact I kind of like it. Given the amount of agitation about nicknames at this point, I'm finding myself gravitating towards believing its better to simply forgo nicknames. Isn't that what is done in Europe, for example, for professional soccer?
Yeah, instead, you get the "Rakuten" team, the "Etihad" team, and so on.
In truth, the nicknames can be fun...but people don't like having fun these days...or rather, people find being outraged to be fun. Those people should try sex and see how it goes.
Well done, the slippery slope gambit is probably the best way to try to salvage a losing argument.First they came for the Redskins, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Redskins fan.
Then they came for the Chiefs, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Chiefs fan.
Then they came for the Saints, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Saints fan.
Then they came for the Patriots and there was no one left to speak for us.
