Yes but I do think changing cities is a lot different than changing nicknames. I think the answer would depend on if one lives in DC or not. I suspect the DC person would dump them while someone in TN doesnt care quite as much where they are playing as long as the uniform and name are the same.

Re: Name change
I would still route for the team, and mainly just chalk it up to another reason why I hate danny snyder (even if it wasn’t his fault). But my relationship to the team would change. Maybe I would like them more. Probably I would like them less. It would no longer be the same team. This would be a major change. Maybe for the better. Probably for the worse. There would undoubtedly be some disconnect, for me at least.

Re: Name change
The team name is pretty important, it's a big part of the entire package of a team.

The name, colors, uniforms, those are the only things that really stay the same. Players and coaches come and go, and even ownership to a lesser degree.

So if you're a fan of the team, aren't you also a fan of the name to a certain degree?

Re: Name change
Well the song mutilation was cheaper. A franchise-wide rebranding will cost millions, perhaps over a billion...and for what valid reason? None.

Washington Whalers? It rhymes and we could have a kick ass Killer Whale with a harpoon through it's torso as our logo. Brilliant!

That does not rhyme; it has alliteration though.

Re: Name change
Dan should do some nice little PR moves and install something at the entrances of FedEx with a little team/name history, donate to some native american museums, or something.
