I agree with Matty. Also what makes you guys think DS is going to cave? You dont get to where he is by caving.

I agree punch but I think he'll be forced to do it eventually.

Re: Darrell Green does not support Redskin name change
I dont think its about DS caving or the Skins/NFL placating the other side. I think this meeting is to begin to develop a unified message so that DS and the NFL can change the Skins name all the while maintaining that the word Redskins isnt a slur.

I also think they are going to get together on how to market the new name and logo to maximize the huge profits that are guaranteed to come from this change. This change is going to be a huge win-win for everybody.

If they change the name and logo that means all of that history goes away right? I mean it should

Why? Its still the same team, players, organization, and city. Nothing changes except a nickname, logo, and maybe colors.

Woah woah woah. Their is no reason to change colors or a logo and nobody is asking them to do so. Also - again - this is just a dog and pony show by Snyder and the league to make the few people who are upset about a dumb nickname think that their "problem" is as important as the real problems in the world.

Personally I think the Dan can put this whole thing to bed if he throws up a few casino's on Oneida turf and hires all the combatants.............

I think so too although it might be too late for that strategy.

If we must change, don't change the colors! B&G for life!

Re: Darrell Green does not support Redskin name change
Goodell is meeting with the Oneida nation soon, so it makes sense for him to talk with Snyder first and get his take on things

DS and the NFL will make a ton of money from this name change and that will be the the reason for the change not because they think the name is a slur. These kinds of releases are put out to make it look like DS is fighting the good fight to keep the Redskins name. In the end $ will win the day.

It will cost several million to change the name, they won't just be making a ton of money by changing it.

There will be a minimal cost to change the name (mostly signage around the stadium and some logos, etc on the website but that will be more than offset by the millions of dollars worth of shirts, hats, and other swag that will be sold to the fans who will have to have the newest gear.

Actually it would be roughly $20-25 million per the latest estimates. And the Redskins would have to incur all of that cost. They split merchandise revenue with the rest of the NFL teams. That revenue is I believe in the mid to high 30s. So it's not boat loads of money they'd making when you think about it
