I'm an NFL outsider. More or a hockey guy. But as an outsider, this is what I hear; got a lot of heat for an offensive team name, waffle for seasons whether to change it or not and piss off both sides during the process, finally cave to the pressure to change the name, pick a name that is fucking stupid, blow the season, sell the team.

Did I get that right?

Also sexual harassment and wage issues, but as a hockey guy as well, the rest is pretty bang on.

Makes you wonder if he finally changed the name under social pressure, or just because he thought he’d get a better price for the team under a more marketable name.
