I'm starting to think it's leaning that way as well. First the Washington "Bullets" had to change their name because "Guns are bad.", and now the DC area has to change another name. Soon, they'll think the "Wizards" is too Satanic of a name, and have that changed. This sucks.

The Washington Bullets weren't forced by anyone to change their name. Owner Abe Polin made the decision on his own to drop the Bullets name from his team.

Polin has been dead for a while now and they haven't changed it back despite widespread evidence that fans would like them to, so I feel like the point remains valid.

Team name had a negative connotation, as now the Wizards do. I'm sure Abe had some kind of internal or external influence to change the name. Point is, are we just going to appeal to everybody that doesn't like a name?
