Washington's NFL team unveils new name as Commanders

[michael777]

Washington’s NFL team is now known as the Commanders.

The new name unveiled Wednesday comes 18 months after the once-storied franchise dropped its old moniker following decades of criticism that it was offensive to Native Americans and under fresh pressure from sponsors. The organization committed to avoiding Native American imagery in its rebrand after being called the Washington Football Team the past two seasons.

The people should command a new name. I thought the name would be Red Wolves.

Funniest troll to the PC crowd would have been to call them the Washington n*****s
But I will not accept anything other than Redskins or Washington Bribes
Appropriate name at least

 

[Michelangelo]

Booooooo

 

[Mr_Mark]

WFT was a better name

 

[PatsFan1283]

That’s like a XFL type name

The Commanders doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue

 

[carlitosway]

Was that nickname created by a 13-year-old 7th grader?

 

[Dr.Love]

Did anyone actually think that pathetic organization would come up with something cool and creative?

 

[carlspackler]

More like the Washington Commoners.

 

[SheriffJoe]

Washington Commies

Better the Commanders than Red Hogs IMO.

Riggins used to sport a Mohawk haircut back in the day. Wonder if Mohaks was ever considered for a name. It keeps with the Native theme but wouldn't be politically incorrect. The logo could be kind of neat

I still have those bad memories of Riggins high stepping for a touchdown against the dolphins way back when.
