[CRA]

Washington - hey guys, what we really want to do is hear from our fans and give you what you want.  Let us know. 

also Washington - yeah, let's name them the Commanders.

American Indians didn’t even care about the name. Maybe we should listen to them instead of woke white people.

Some of them didn't. Some of them did. That's just the reality. In any event, "Commanders" is lame. There are so many better names than both.

The Redskins was my favorite team before the Panthers, but after Jack Kent Cook was no longer the owner things went downhill rather quickly.  Even when the Panthers came along I would say Washington was my 2nd favorite team.  Snyder has completely ruined that organization and I no longer care one iota about them...and quite honestly haven't for many years now.

Their logo is a 2-toned W.  Name, Commanders.  

At least we just have Matt Rhule to deal with.  That whole Snyder thing along with now such a comically bad create-a-team preset rebrand would have me jump ship.  We should welcome DC area detractors to our bumbling fandom.

The name Washington Commanders is dumb but we'll get used to it. I mean there's literally a team called the Browns and that doesn't seem abnormal.

I wonder if Dale Jr. is finally ready to jump ship and support his home team? Anyone outside of the DC region (local fan base) that still supports that team is about as nuts as their owner.

It's better than Commanders.  Heck, I didn't even have a marketing team or poll focus groups.  I'm nearly certain that Commanders was not the fan favorite.

Named after a person, the name-sake of the team actually.  I'm surprised ol' Danny boy didn't at least float the idea of Washington Snyders.

According to Washington Commies head coach Ron Rivera, the new name was "just another missed opportunity."

I understand that, but objectively speaking it is a goofy name for a sports team, but we're all used to it by now so it doesn't make a difference.

I would have hated to be the players in the commercial. They were thinking I can't believe this is the the name they came up with and I have to stand in this bullshite and try to look cool/intimidating. Madden create a team at its finest.

At least Cleveland Browns rolls off the tongue. There is nothing smooth about saying Washington Commanders.
