Washington Football Team announces 'Commanders' as new team name
By Cameron Jenkins - 02/02/22 08:47 AM EST

The NFL team formerly known as Washington Football Team unveiled its new name on Tuesday with much fanfare.

In a video posted to Twitter, the team announced that it will now go by the "Washington Commanders."

The highly anticipated rebrand of the team name comes after it faced backlash against its longstanding "Redskins" nickname, which critics said was racist.

For the past two years, the team has simply gone by "Washington Football Team."

Named after the Bidens' latest prop dog?

Stupid name for a dog, and odd name for a football team.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Commanders?  Their mascot better be a black-asian-hispanic crippled transgendered "they" dressed as a yacht club commodore, or there will be heck to pay.

Based upon the city they represent and their on-field performance, "Dingleberries" would be a more appropriate team name.

I think they should go with nickname "Swamp Creatures" and use this graphic for helmet/uniform, and all other gear for the team...

Washington Commanders is a bit better than MLB’s Cleveland Guardians.

If they forget their undergarments, may we call them the Commandos?

As for the Dingleberries ... well, that was a magical year for WVU football.

Johnny Dingle and Scooter Berry, long may they wave.

It was reported today that the Washington team has chosen its new mascot...General George Custer.

Quote
Native American leaders have been critical of the new mascot. "Commanders is vague enough to be inoffensive, but this mascot makes everything worse. Custer was famous for reveling in the slaughter of native tribes," said Chief Rolling Hamster. "I'd prefer they call themselves the Redskins at this point."

Notable Indigenous Person Elizabeth Warren also expressed her disgust. "That you would parade a white man mascot around instead of a Native American is abhorrent. Are you saying Native Americans can't be commanders? I'm tired of rich white people making these decisions!" she lamented from her mansion in Cambridge.

I like the shortened version of their new name

Washington Commies.

Can either be the football team or the DC Swamp creatures.
