It seems that most sports team names have something to do with the city or area in which the team is located. Yes, there are some that are named after animals but think of the Yankees, Tampa Bay Lightning, New England Patriots, San Fran 49ers, Boston Celtics, Miami Dolphins, Seattle Seahawks.

Why not something like the Washington Congress, Presidents, Monuments.

Commanders doesn't seem to have anything to do with anything.

Well, the "Commander" in Chief does live in DC... :icon_wink:

Bleh. My team no longer exists. RIP.

Should have changed the name to the pigskins. Why not, then they could still simply be called the skins for short. Oh, I forgot, that would be offensive to the swine community. Never mind.

I'm all for the Atlanta Braves and Kansas City Chief's having their names changed. Not for any political or racial reason; just to not have to hear or see the tomahawk chop.

Don’t watch ! GO BRAVES chop til you drop. ( That’s World Series champion Braves)

All of the name changes are a joke. These were complements. Redskins Indians etc

Commanders? Maybe better than Ensigns, or ButterBar Boys?

At first I thought maybe The Washington Chichen S___, but really they should be The Washington Pacifiers.

If Washington fans had any principles, they would have stopped watching that junk years ago. Teams can do whatever they want while the stupid public keeps spending money on it.

Most fitting would be : Muckrackers.

Carpetbaggers?

How bout Carpetbaggers?

Minority here: I like the name. Commanders. "Take Charge - Achieve Objectives - Win"

What made me laugh is that when they revealed the name, they showed a new logo stating "Washington Commanders", and in the logo it says Established 1932.

That is completely incorrect. You gave up your 1932 designation when you caved and pulled the actual team name that was established in 1932. It should read established 2022.
