Honestly that would help, I always think they're based in Washington State.

Same with the Washington Post.

A change that only a very few people wanted in the first place. No reason at all to change it.

I feel like Dan Snyder is petty and stubborn enough to shut the team down entirely and scorch the earth before caving in to pressure. He rarely seems to give much of a fuck about anything, especially if he thinks he can get away with it. And he's smart enough to understand that the people complaining about the team name aren't the people paying for tickets or buying merch anyway, so catering to them really doesn't benefit him at all.

Sponsor or league pressure could potentially force him into doing it against his will, but it could just as easily result in him spitefully digging in his heels because he's really good at making money even when the team is kind of shit (see also, the LA Clippers).

There's other sources out there besides The Onion so it's legit in this case.

I just want the fans to be singing "La, la, la la la la, la, la la, la la" while doing the wave.

Honestly it would be the coolest team evar!!

There isn't any pettiness when it comes to this.

Didn't read the article, but laughed at the joke since I was expecting a real rename. Rarely actually laugh IRL from something I see online.

What does that have to do with whether or not people like the name? Your parents could have named you Fuckface and that could have been your name for years, but I rather doubt you would have liked it much just because it was "established" that your name's Fuckface.

Hold on now, @Revelation34 , you specifically said that a majority of Native Americans like the name.

Your link just says that a majority of those polled aren't offended by the name (not that they actually like it).

I'm sorry I had to call you out with your own catchphrase like that, but I think there's a pretty big distinction between not being offended by something and actually liking it.
