As pressure continues to mount on Washington owner Daniel Snyder to change the name, the sports world’s most friendly team is willing to reach out a helping hand — for a price.
The parent company of the Harlem Globetrotters, Herschend Entertainment, owns the trademark to both the Globetrotters and their lovable loser opponent, the Washington Generals.
“We think that the Globetrotters are right up there as the most liked team in the world with Manchester United and the New York Yankees,” said spokesman Brett Meister. “Our heritage includes the Washington Generals.”
Meister said that “we’d love for the franchise or the NFL to call us” about buying the rights.
