That's bad for business!

Actually, wouldn't be the opposite? I'm sure people are going to want to buy Redskins merchandise as collectible items.

Maybe, but I already have several pieces of Redskins merchandise because I am a fan. I am not going to buy anything else with Redskins on it if the team is about to change names. I see how it could work both ways however.

Chris Cooley ridicules name-change effort, says he’s now protesting the Chargers - The Washington Post

This issue is so ridiculous. If they are going to go against our trademark our name because of it offending people, then why not start a fire storm where every team name offends somebody. *SMH*

I was amused by Cooley's comments about being him offended by the Charger's name, but that situation would be quite a bit different than someone offended by "Redskins."

Also, they shouldn't have said some of the things they said, especially in such a public setting. Some of their comments will do nothing but add fuel to the fire.

Change the name to Washington Generals and have the Harlem Globetrotters come to town to kick the crap out of us week in and week out.
