The President thinks that’s the way it should be. Or else. Can he make it happen?
Merger with Canada might be easier!!

I think narrow thinking is death to the boards. Not much discussion of investments any more. Lots more interest in politics. If we have interesting posts, participation increases.
Well…is it, really? The “limited government” regime is trying to dictate to privately owned sports teams, private universities, private broadcast networks.
A long time ago, a year maybe, I was posting about the risk to corporations of doing, or saying, or appearing to favor, anything with the slightest whiff of “DEI”.

True. But you don’t want this forum to devolve into the former PA. That was a cesspool. Politics as it affects finance is relevant. Though I believe Wendy has the final say here.
I don’t see how the “Redskins” are relevant to anything. Pretty sure the Felon has no say in this. The team is privately owned, and they already have a stadium. It seems the Felon wants to meddle in a new stadium, but that would get even more OT if I were to complain about sports teams always wanting new stadiums (usually funded by taxpayers in some manner) when their current stadiums are perfectly fine.

The old name is probably thought to be part of the same “traditional American family values” as naming US military bases in honor of those who took up arms against the US government.

Steve, you’re getting really good at this. Perhaps an agreeable name would be the Jay Sixers?

I like it! Have someone dressed up as one of the “Proud Boys” for the team mascot?

TIG caters primarily to racists. Using the government’s power to force a private business to adopt a racist name is red meat for the base.

Sure. But what does that have to do with economics, the economy, or anything else? That was my question. I fully get that this is red-meat for the base. I just wasn’t seeing any connection to anything about finance or the economy.

Gotcha. I agree it should be marked OT.
