Well Fred has a choice then...shut up and watch his investment continue to grow or find someone to buy it and take less than $400 mil. When you're trying to cut bait like he is, expecting FMV is a fantasy especially knowing who the purchaser has to be comfortable getting into bed with.

With how "viral" it suddenly went, I'm really curious at the potential that it's an astroturfing venture by the front office to get the name they've already picked in the minds of fans.
Redtails nor Redwolves appeal to me.
How about Washington Sorcerers for some cross promotional stuff with the Wizards, I kid.

That's not the point.... Don't care if Fred gets his FMV for his share. Point is, Snyder likely doesn't have any ability to buy them out, so they are going to drag down the value to Danny on their way out the door. And thats still Danny's fault, he's responsible for the utterly empty stadium all last year.
I've seen some hate for Fred Smith on here and elsewhere. What on earth is people's problem with him? Snyder is the issue, not his silent, minority stakeholders who have been nothing but a steadying influence up until they can no longer ever tolerate him.

On Fred Smith he’s waited 20 years to make a name change power play on the back of BLM. He seems just as bad as the rest of the people trying to profit off the movement.

I know. There are several teams sponsored by the drink which was my point.
But there are also teams with the same names across several sports and they have nothing to do with each other. Panthers, Cardinals, etc.
It's just now I hear "Red Bull" and think of that energy drink instead of a red bull or maybe the malt liquor.

I think Snyder could EASILY leverage the team just fine with a value of ~3.5 billion, to buy out Fred or whomever he wanted to honestly.
The Glazers bought Man United with NONE of their own $. Snyder may not be cash flush to buy them out, but he could pull the strings if he wanted to.
And as for your adoration of Fred Smith, you know he’s a steadying influence in an NFL boardroom how exactly?
If he was so steadying, where was this sudden public display of human rights heroism before the country blew up in March? It’s all very tainted with self serving even for Fred.

I know the team wants to stick with Burgundy and Gold as the colors, but one, they're TOO associated with the Redskins name, and two, it's not a really fitting color scheme for a team based in the nation's capital.
In order to have a truly fresh start, the colors need to be changed too, ideally to red, white, and navy blue like the rest of Washington's teams and the US flag.
This would go great with my proposed name of Presidents.
The fight song just needs a few lyric changes too.

Funny how people view things, because I would absolutely hate it if they went this direction. The burgundy and gold/mustard is one of the best color schemes in sports; it's original and looks terrific both in person and on TV... it would be a shame to ditch it so they could copy the color scheme of other NFL teams, including one of their biggest rivals in their own division. And not all DC teams are red, white, and blue -- DC United is red and black.

I'd be fine with Red White and Blue....and if they change the name, I'd almost prefer they just wipe out everything reminding me of the glory days.

If they started winning again you could name them the Pancakes and have the colors be bread and butter for all I care...
