Washington's new team name: Washington Commanders!

[ill]

LOL. My teams include the LA Lakers, LA Dodgers (Trolley Dodgers), Buffalo Bills, Syracuse Orange.....not much sense made there (Lakers due to a move, Dodgers due to a move and being outdated, Bills is corny, and Orange was Orangemen...clearly a slur issue).

Bills is the best of the group

Should have renamed the Redskins as the Carvers.

Quick question for you and others alike. Did you think the redskins should have had to change their name?

yes

 

[Rowdy]

yes

Well then STFU! You got what you wanted

 

[ill]

Well the STFU! You got what you wanted

doesn't mean I don't want better for you and your team

Commanders is just embarrassing and I am sorry you have to cheer for that team.

 

[Rowdy]

yes

Here read this. This is the exact thing that was expected.

Whatever the name will be. Bet this. Those that cried the loudest and spent day after day scolding the rest of us on just how offensive and ugly the Redskin name actually was will be the same ones who will be on here laughing the loudest at the new name whatever it is. Instead of commending the name they will mock along with everyone else. Its what we call in the business,, fake people. Could be a long long day on Wednesday

It's not that bad IMO. In a few years it will be second nature and a non-issue. There likely was some impact from people investing in trademarks for options they might have used otherwise. I take more issue with their lack of a quality logo and uniform design for this new re-branding.

cool

and I am laughing at how bad it is

I had hopes they wouldn't fuck it up, but they did.

now my team has to play "The Commanders" twice a season. It means my friends here in MD have to cheer for a shitty team name. I live in the middle of "Redskins country" in MD so it will be a talking point for a while to come.

Wouldn’t bother me a bit if it lead to him having to sell, but this is just a little show being put on by liberal congress. When they actually have a whole lot more important shit to work on

They were asking for it amirite...

All they really needed was a new helmet logo, if that. Otherwise, a completely new design would've worked, incorporating Commanders related images somewhere. They fell in between somewhere with a pretty meh outcome IMO.

I agree

and a logo sells more hats and shirts and whatnot, which is really all Dan Snyder cares about...so they did that.

Who?

Congress

 

[Rowdy]

Congress

Asking for what? I think he meant the ladies who were allegedly sexually harassed. Thing is it’s a closed case by the nfl. I don’t see Congress getting anywhere with it. There’s no criminal charges that I know of.

Asking for what?

the information on Snyder's sexual harassment charges

that's what that article is
