On top of that I have not seen Capitals Inside or Wizards Insider "asked" to change their names so why should "Redskins Insider" be forced to change other then for their lack of inside information?

Well
1. Asking for a name change is not the same as forcing
2. They have the right to ask, largely due to contractual obligations they have with other organizations
3. How do we know this hasn't been brought up before
4. It's not uncommon at all for teams and leagues to do this, and it's also not uncommon for the primary instigator in this matter to be the media partner that's paid a lot of money to them (as I mentioned from personal experience)
5. He's not the first Redskins owner to do this
6. Because you haven't seen Capitals Insider or Wizards Insider doesn't mean you should a) assume they haven't or b) think they have the same contractual obligations to other entities to do so.
This isn't a huge deal, in my opinion. But I get it, we all hate Snyder. He's an evil, awful man no matter what he does because he ruined a team that last won a Super Bowl nearly 10 years before he even bought the team. Whatever, that's fine. I'd bet my membership here that more people here than not would be hated by Skins fans too if they owned the team.
