You're allowed to think whatever you want about names.
And yes, Synder does own the team. But sponsorships make the team profitable where he is able to earn on the team or at the very worst break even or have to spend very little.
Once the big money sponsors threatened to drop their payments to the Washington team, even a piece of **** like Synder realized that he could either change the name or face having to pay tens of millions out of his own pocket to run the team.
Or he could sell the team which his ego would not allow him to do. The next owners would simply have changed the name anyway.
So he chose to drop the name.
It really had nothing to do with the NFL at all. The team was at risk of losing 85% of its sponsorship revenue.
No more and no less.
They would have not even found an apparel company that would outfit the team.
And he could have moved the team to the Lunar surface and it would not have mattered. No company with any reputation would have touched them no matter where they moved.
I guess maybe they could be sponsored by those gold coin companies that rip off the elderly and whoever sponsors the Laura Ingram show?
But thank you for coming back to explain yourself, it does not make you any more correct. But at least I can understand what you were trying to get across
