Washington Football Team New Name

Post by sfpcc1 » Wed Feb 02, 2022 9:10 am

The former Washington Redskins are now the Washington Commanders. I'm not sure about it; It kinds of sounds like an Arena Football team from Maryland.

If they get the right mascot they can make it militaryish…

Crap name. They should have went with Washington Gridlock.
New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

The Guardians, the Commanders, and I am worried that we will have the Atlanta Overlords instead of the Braves.

Should have been the Washington Senators (NFL team from 1921 - 1922) which then became a baseball team (1961 - 1971).

It fits right in with the Guardians name. They should have just kept Washington Football Team. It kind of wore on me and was unique.

The new name sucks. Sounds befitting of an XFL or CFL team. Then again, this poor choice is not terribly surprising; they do have the worst owner in the league. I'll take Ford Family ownership in a heartbeat over Dan Snyder. (Yes, I said it.)

Their piece of shit stadium is falling apart and they treat their fans like abject garbage. I highly recommend watching the YouTube videos about FedEx Field.

Compare that to the Palace of Auburn Hills, which was nearly in mint condition when it hosted its last event ever. To say FedEx Field has millions of dollars worth of deferred maintenance items would be an understatement!

Washington Weasels, Washington Parasites, Washington Leeches, or Washington Whores would've been my top picks. 😁
Morgan Wallen is a piece of garbage.

Commanders sounds like some sort of mechtron robot football team name to me. :barf

So be it... I've no 'skin' in the game.

FWIW - Chris-Craft & Jeep had a run using that name.

Chris-Craft's lasted about 25 years 60's-80's.

Jeep's - only 5 years in the mid-oughts.

As long as the name fits on 'iSportzBetz' or whatever sleazebag betting operations there are, I'm sure it will do.

Maybe they should have been named the Cobra Commanders(only a couple will get that reference)?

Indeed, I do remember Cobra Commander. :)

The Jeep Commander was a piece of shit vehicle. In that sense, I guess the name is a better fit for the football team owned by Dan Snyder than I first thought!
