True. This is more geared towards an American panel. Our major four spectator sports are Football, Baseball, Basketball, and Hockey.

Hockey, football, Basketball, and then Baseball in that order.
Two:
1) Baseball, and
2) Nothing else.

I know next to nothing about Baseball.
As to my favorites:
1. Soccer (National Team, FC Bayern Munich)
2. Swimming (Biedermann, Koch, Phelps, Lochte, Le Clos and the likes)
3. Athletics/Track and Field (Bolt and the German athletes)
Nr. 2 and 3 preferably on Eurosport.
Nr. 2 and 3 have World Championships this year.....
The Redskins sucking for the last 25 years (with the owner being the root of the problem) has become too much. It is agony watching games.
^ Look at it this way: If it was easy to be a fan of [insert team name here], then what would be the point? Sometimes you have to go through a real rough patch.
Already have done.
That's OK - until a few years ago, I didn't either. We all gotta start somewhere.
I mean, I'm not exactly an expert on it now, but baseball is the only sport I really know anything about. At least I can TALK about it to people - it makes a great conversation starter. I couldn't enjoy watching a sport that I couldn't discuss with fellow fans.
I don't understand (American) football, I know that much. I mean, I'm 45 years old and I still don't know what a "down" is. Pathetic, innit?
Have you ever been to Allianz Arena? That is one of the most beautiful stadiums I have ever seen.

1. 25 years of mostly sucking is a really bad "rough patch."
2. The core of the problem is bad decisions regularly made by the owner. The only way to "fire" the owner is to boycott the team. My one man boycott isn't working though. Washington Redskins is still one of the top most valuable team brandings in the NFL.
Hey, I know about that sort of thing. I am a Mets fan, after all.
(I am also a Yankees fan. Apparently it's considered unusual to like both. Well,
that. 
)What's your view on the team name? Do you think they should change it?

That is unusual. Just like it is unusual to be both a Redskins fan and a Ravens fan. They are geographically very close, but the fan bases don't get along.
I remember rooting for the Mets one year against the Yankees in the World Series. It was the underdog vs. the evil empire.
I use to be adamantly against changing the name due to the tradition associated with it. Now, I am okay with changing the team name after Snyder sells the team. It will signify a new beginning. And to be honest, it is probably inevitable anyway that they will change their name at some point in the future.
At least in that case, they're not from the same city. That's why I root for the Yankees and the Mets - they're both New York teams.
New York is a huge city though. Driving from Washington, DC to Baltimore only takes about 45 minutes. Washingtonians will sometimes joke that Baltimore is just a suburb of DC, and it pisses off some people from Baltimore.
