To me, this is the surest sign that change in this particular case is possible.
Washington management has long been dismissive of any name change for the NFL franchises based there, and current owner Dan Snyder has repeatedly insisted that the current name will remain, citing pride and tradition.
However, this might change their tune quite a bit!
Merchandise sales are down!
You know that in a league where money talks (hell, in a world where money talks), being hit in the wallet is what really often times makes things move!
This may make what seems like the inevitable -a name change for the Washington franchise - come much more quickly. Sagging sales might just hasten this process quite a bit!
