It is widely known that Mr. Pollin took the extraordinary step of changing the team name from "Bullets" to "Wizards" in 1997 precisely to express his abhorrence of gun violence in our community.

It's not changing back.

Arenas was pushing for this well before John Wall.

Probably because Washington D.C. was considered the murder capital of the Country at the time.

That makes sense but why the Wizards? Can't come up with a better name in a city with as much history as D.C.?

[davehos]

Can't go back to the "Bullets" because of gun violence?

FFS ....

How about the Washington Musketeers? Is that safe enough?

They wanted to ignore the direct references to violence, but still keep a subtle theme of racism.

Because it was more politically correct, didn't encourage murder in a known ghetto, hostile area. Can't have a sport full of blacks, with a team named the bullets. I understand the reasoning, even if I hated the change TBH.
