>> Just because they can legally have that name doesn't mean they should keep it.

And there's no business reason to keep it either, imo. Changing the name means you've got an entire fan base who needs to buy new merch.

Because the Washington football team has a local monopoly on NFL football, I can't imagine the negative financial impact of a name change being that significant. Fans tend to care about the team being a winner above all else. So just put a winning product on the field and people will quickly forget about the old name.
