Good chance team name gets changed per report.

While its true that time is undefeated, I’m just saying that it’ll be a cold day in hell before anybody old enough to remember and have lived through the glory days of Riggo, Monk, Theisman, et al, will accept commanders as the legit name of the washington football team.

Of course by that time some of the old timers might have taken up residency.


Hail to the Redskins.

If we shouldn’t care about the team being called the C word then why the fuck should anyone care about it called the Redskins “it’s just a name”? Im from west “by god” Virginia and when I was looking for a team to pull for when I was younger I chose the Redskins because of the name and logo. I thought it was pretty damn cool. Also despised the cowgirls

I will never be a fan of the expansion team...Commies. They have over taken the Cowboys as my most hated team. I have always identified with the Name Redskins, with Pride. I couldn't care less about the City of Washington DC or their Commies team.

Well sorry you haven't been along for the ride. It's been a great ride, such an exciting year. I literally can't think of a more exciting season in team history with so many last second victories. They have the most exciting young player in the entire NFL.

You missed out on all of this and over what? A name? That is simply crazy to me.

I've got a Commanders hat in my Amazon cart right now. And I go back to Kilmer and Larry Brown. Must be really cold outside.

Do you like the name? This is how fans, you know the people who actually support the league, make changes in the league. You take money away from the league and changes are made. The problem is fans don’t have the backbone or discipline to cause change.

No like everyone else I don't like the name. Now it's better than Football Team which I hated but I never liked Commanders. I started the season referring to them as Washington. But as the wins piled up under the name Commanders I gradually began to accept it. Even if I continued to despise the name I would never stop rooting for my team because I don't like the name. That is simply crazy to me as I have posted.

But I totally support a name change and believe that ultimiately happens. Until then I will gladly support my Washington Commanders without hesitation.

I also have to disagree with your last sentence. It was only because the fans didn't stop pushing that we got a new owner. It was the only reason VA politicians refused to work with Dan Snyder on a new stadium, it lead to the commissioner being trotted before Congress and it lead to the 2nd report by Mary Jo White which ultimately forced him to sell. Without the pressure from the fans and victims Daniel Snyder would still own the team and we would have been 6-11.

Our fans have shown the backbone to cause change. This cause however ain't worth the fight for a lot of us.

I remember when the team was sold Magic said there were going to change the name. So why would fans buy Commander gear? Didnt make sense if they were going to change it at the time. Now that the team is WINNING, I think this changes things. People are buying gear. They might keep the Commanders name. If the logo changes back to the Indian, then obviously the name would have change.

I give it a 50-50 chance that they change it to Warriors and use the old logo. The further they get into the playoffs, the less of a chance the name gets changed.
