The team basically says it is because they suck. But if declining merchandise sales becomes a trend even if the team improves, that will have a material impact on the naming controversy. |
Its because they suck. And also because last year everyone was buying RG3 stuff and he's lost a lot of his luster. I'd bet if you went back pre-RG3 it would be up.
If they win it will go back up.
