Wait why haven't we taken the Kennedy name off of buildings yet? We have both sexual misconduct and murder of an innocent young woman related to that name.
Where will it end?
While Ted Kennedy certainly has done some bad things (calling it murder is a bit conspiratorial, though..), there's also a lot that he's done to be celebrated. What has Wynn done that should be celebrated by the public?
Pleading guilty to leaving a scene of an accident where someone died and not reporting it until 10am the next day? Yeah not sure what to call that.

Oh my God. Are we seriously doing the Ted Kennedy thing again? It's been done before on here, folks. Move on.
A name change should be mandated
Why would wynn resorts change their name when "wynn" is an alteration to the actual family name so it wouldn't sound jewish? As far as I'm concerned it's sort of a stage name.
Yes, because falcon needs to bring some completely unrelated, right-wing talking points into pretty much every thread.
No. The point is, why should something be "mandated"?
You can come with 1000 examples of names that can be changed, right and left. The fact is Wynn is accused of horrible things, yet not convicted of anything, other than in the court of public opinion. Its a slippery slope to mandate name changes. Its the same debate with Yawkey Way etc. A mandate is strong. Should they consider voluntary changing it? Yes of course, but be mandated by some people on a higher moral ground, no.
The company should decide what's the best name for the casino, not the state.
new name...change Wynn to Win
But even then there is the 12% ownership stake which means the "suitability" standard still applies unless he goes under 5% of the shares.
Things are going to get messy if Massachusetts tries to force divestiture based on these allegations. We are talking about billions of dollars and a lifetime of work... Wynn isn't walking away from that without a fight even if they take his name off the building.
