ESPN has one of their super scientific Sportsnation polls running right now: Should the Redskins change their name?
Yes No
D.C.: 44% 56%
Maryland: 39% 61%
Nationwide: 36% 64%
Virginia: 34% 66%
I'm a little surprised it leans so far toward "No" nationwide, and I'm a lot surprised that D.C. has one of the highest "Yes" percentages. Although the only thing that compares to the Redskins fan base in the D.C. metro area are the people who hate the Redskins because have they have to hear about them all the time.
Oregon appears to be first with 47% saying yes. Mississippi appears to be last with 23%. Georgia, Missouri, and Ohio (home to the Braves, Chiefs, and Indians) all poll below 36%; Illinois (home to the Blackhawks) is above with 40%.
If anyone thinks Snyder is going to break before the general public, let alone his season ticket holders, they're kidding themselves.
