the team has been mostly dreadful since 2012, their last indisputably relevant year (RG3)
Despicable owner, decrepit stadium, awful team, Caps title, Nats title...the name change topic wasn't relevant because the team wasn't relevant.
It was time for the name to change, sure. But there was not a groundswell of support for changing OR keeping the name here in DC. Of late, it's largely been a narrative pushed by mostly liberal sports opinion people with national audiences. That's not criticism, just true.
