I did say those that were outside the area, most of whom are the older fans. That set was more likely than newer fans to drop their fandom over a name change so I view 40-50% as a conservative estimate (But like what was pointed out no evidence of this). Ironically we also probably lost most of our Native American fans.

The majority of the fanbase left because the team has stunk. That is what happens.

Did people see that the Guardians are having issues with a roller derby club. LOL That's why you do a name search, and diligence and resolve things in the background.

Getting the new name, making sure the web and social media are going to work, and that copyrights and other legal niceties all takes time. If it was Snyder/Allen/Cerrato handling it, I would be petrified. But Rivera, Wright and the rest of the operations staff seem to have an actual clue how to do this right. I wish they would announce it, and move forward, but so far everything has been handled with aplomb so I will wait impatiently and hope RR pulls another 15-1 season out of his hat in the meantime.

I was reading an article about how Cleveland apparently didn't to something as simple as a Google search on Cleveland Guardians to see if it was being used and now they look like idiots. I'm sure they will be able to steamroll the roller derby team or give them a few million reasons to give up the name Guardians. This is exactly why WFT is taking their time to finalize their name change.

One of the local HS teams in Buffalo changed from Redskins to Legends

Hate it.

The Atlantic League (independent baseball) just added a team called the Lexington Legends.

It doesn't sound like a top-level professional name, sounds like a minor league or rec team's name.

Red Wolves, Wolves or keep WFT for me.

Washington Legends doesn't sound good. D.C. Legends sounds cool. But also too much like a comic book.

It's gonna feel like an eternity for the name change to be announced.

Still like Wolves the best.

I enjoy names that don't sound like they were created by expansion franchises in 2k. Pass

Players howling after Jonathan Allen's "Dogs" break (end of the clip).

I know, twitter vid, but they could have edited that out if they just wanted to show Ron's speech. At least good to see the players are having fun with that.

Have a portrait of Thomas Jefferson and we are the Washington Jefferson’s…..

Not sure if you are serious or not but in the world we are in now that would be called out for naming the team after slave owners. That's just asking for issues.
