The Washington Football Team Selects A New Name

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.

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.

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.

I don't think Washington fans would care for the Naval Academy's mascot though....  :D

Mostly because nothing is more entertaining than seeing old white guys throw a fit over not getting their way. Never fails to amuse me.

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.

They could've opted to put a "New Red Potato" on the side of the helmet lol...

I guess they figured, the Generals and the Senators were already used....and apparently it had to be something political or military.

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?

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.
