Canton Dawg Posted February 2, 2022 Report Share Posted February 2, 2022 Looks like they’ve settled on The Commanders. I haven’t read anything about their mascot yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unsympathetic Posted February 2, 2022 Report Share Posted February 2, 2022 I look forward to their PR photos with Russell Crowe, Daniel Snyder, and some unfortunate guy in the uniform for their cross-promotion with the 2003 naval war movie Master And Commander. That movie was one of the most accurate representations of naval warfare ever made.. the fighting and tactics of that period are very much on point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorka Posted February 2, 2022 Report Share Posted February 2, 2022 Dumb name. Almost right up there with Guardians, but not quite. Commander is an officer rank in the Navy. The Washington Admirals sounds much better to me. Maybe they should have chosen a name like Homesteaders to continue to symbolize the rivalry with the Cowboys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob806 Posted February 2, 2022 Report Share Posted February 2, 2022 So the shortened nickname will be Commies😊 Actually, that whole damn division, NFC East are commies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkippinTurtles Posted February 2, 2022 Report Share Posted February 2, 2022 The Washington Generals lost 16,000 games to the Globetrotters so they picked the closest name they could get. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked WFT, and it was in the running... Guardians blows.... And Dolan is a puss for changing the name... IMHO, Indians is no more racist than Chiefs, Blackhawks, or Seminoles... I'm not much of a baseball fan, but I know several folks up in Cleveland who turned in their Wahoo cards over the name change. It's been mentioned elsewhere, this up in arms "racist" crap is from a minute contingent of radical Native Americans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Washington fans would care for the Naval Academy's mascot though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutch Oven Posted February 3, 2022 Report Share Posted February 3, 2022 I was pretty 'eh' on the name Guardians at first, but it's starting to grow on me. Mostly because nothing is more entertaining than seeing old white guys throw a fit over not getting their way. Never fails to amuse me. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion Posted February 4, 2022 Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 What would've been wrong with the Red Wolves? A wolf head to work with for a logo. (this was said today on 92 The Fan) A guy I know is a life-long Redskins fans. Redskins everything in his man cave. I asked him as part of a Birthday facebook wish, What do you think of the new nickname? - He hasn't responded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkippinTurtles Posted February 5, 2022 Report Share Posted February 5, 2022 I saw Eric Turner and Sean Taylor. The new NFL is trending toward Arena football. Call every team the San Jose SaberCats. Minimal contact. Yeah for Giselle and Tom Brady. Trans community in one family.. Todays touch football. Yuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo Posted February 5, 2022 Report Share Posted February 5, 2022 Personally I would have liked to see them named the Washington Veterans. It would pay homage to the people who gave their lives for this country and the ones who served and are serving right now, plus Arlington National Cemetery is in D.C. Don't know is Veterans was on the list for possible names? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 Finally heard from my buddy the life-long Redskins fan. He said, "It sucks!" He says they shoulda' just left it as Football Team. I suggested Football Club. I liked Red Barons....but of course, the Red Baron was on the 'other' side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
