If I were Dan Snyder, I’d pack up the team and get away from DC just to spite Norton and her ilk.
If it goes to the final round and they lose....there is no reason to remain in DC. I’d pack the team and head to Fairfax and rename them the Virginia ‘English’ (to go with the Commonwealth). The trick here....is that by placing the team in Fairfax, there’s no way that the NFL would place or discuss the idea of another team in DC (you got the Ravens out in Baltimore)....there would be too much competition for a third team.
But by doing this....I don’t see how you can allow any sports team to use an Indian name....or for that matter....any state or city to use an Indian name.
If he wants to spite Norton and her ilk then he should call a press conference and say that henceforth the team will be known as "Washington". No new logo. No new mascot. No new nothing. Make it clear that they are not dropping the Redskins name and logo, just not using it. And since they aren't dropping it then there is no need for an new mascot.
That is what I would do, pack up move and give them the finger as I drive out of town.
Yep, screw all these suck bag rat bast---s.
Indeed—Find a city that appreciates the huge economic boost an NFL team provides.
Mayors of most NFL cities live in perpetual dread that the team will decide to re-locate—It would be something if the ‘skins move out on Obama’s watch.
