I wasn’t trying to be that funny. Just trying to lighten things up. There are a handful of good options out there to fix a situation that has needed fixing for some time now.
Washington Football Team is now the Washington Commanders
- Thread starter Hoya81
- Start date
According to the late Victor Kiam, Art Modell suggested a number of years ago Snyder should change the name to the Foreskins.

Is this Snyder’s Sterling moment?

Me, and most of the NFL-watching public right now:

It has to be really bad if people are afraid to be the first to post it. In a culture where people tweet any rumor they can find and are obsessed with posting FIRST! And this has been building for days is not a good sign.
I assume people are just double, triple checking their sources on this. You can't be accusing people of sexual assault, drug abuse, and hiring out cheerleaders without being 100% sure. You'd get sued to high heaven.
The rumor is Snyder and Gruden has parties with Epstein. And you can imagine what that involved.

A buddy who is a long time Washington fan, and follows them very closely, all the message boards/blogs, twitter chatter, etc., was telling me the same rumor last night. He despises Snyder, thinks the name change should have happened a decade ago, at least, and hopes this bombshell forces the sale of the team.............. All of which probably means this is much ado about very little*
* Just my skepticism regarding the build up to this. Not in any way minimizing the repulsiveness of any involvement with Epstein, if true, or any culture of sexual abuse and harassment that may be exposed.

What? I am fine with drunken-coked-out underage sex parties, but I am done with football if this is true.
FAKE EDIT: Go Pats!
Not that this person is super connected, more to show that it’s reaching the point where even random local media people are hearing the rumours. Stuff’s going to have to drop soon

But if the rumours are true it would make a ton of sense why Snyder, after years of stubbornly refusing to change the Washington team name, suddenly had a change of heart. At least it feels like a crude attempt to show that the organization is trying to change things
If the rumors are true, wouldn't this be more of Snyder going to jail than just selling the team?
This is so hyped that you just know the big story is going to turn out to not be anything crazy after all
Washington's independent film production crew doing a documentary called "Sleeping on the Job", caught Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and several staff members on the sideline before the recent game.
Say Snyder is involved in some sort of crazy Epstein-related sex ring, do other fanbases with terrible owners try and make some connections that their guy is involved as well. Imagine if this thing took down Jones, James Dolan, etc.?
This may be nothing, but it has been widely reported that Snyder hasn't been in the DC area for weeks/months. He has been living on his yacht in the south of France. He and his wife are both cancer survivors with compormised immunity, so it has been reported they left the country due to COVID. I guess we'll see.
If Snyder somehow gets taken down, I imagine Redskins (or whatever they will be called) fans will be partying in the streets.....
I was listening to Andrew Brandt on a podcast a few years ago and he told this anecdote about Snyder. Some guy (Brandt did not give his name, I am assuming some random rich guy) went to Snyder's house to pick up his kids after a play date with Snyder's kids, the guy says 'thanks for having the kids over, Dan.' Snyder looks at him and says, 'that's Mr. Snyder.'
I used to drive by Snyder's house in Potomac occasionally on my evening commute (back when I had an evening commute) and remember how on Halloween he would always have some lackey set up at a table right on River Road, outside the gate, for candy distribution. Can't have the kids actually getting onto the property.
When the team was involved in human trafficking cheerleaders that should have been it, and it would have been it for any organization run by human beings as opposed to soulless ghouls. But we know who there nfl is. Snyder may be the worst, but he has plenty of company.
Don't be so sure, he tops most of the list of worst NFL owners, and probably thereby worst owners in sports. I'm sure there are worse Russian (etc) Oligarchs owning teams in other countries, but not here, at least not now that Mikhail Prokhorov has divested from the Nyets.
There is heavy competition for the title though, you're right about that.
If he actually partied with Epstein, everyone in that area should be glad their kids didn't get onto the property.
The Iraqis still haven’t forgiven Grady Hussein for not sending in a reliever for the Republican Guard.
For what it’s worth, the Washington club isn’t the only professional football team to announce a forthcoming name change this week; The Edmonton Eskimos are also going to adopt a new name.

Madden 21 will feature a generic Washington team with no nickname/logo until the new one is announced.
