Washington chooses Commanders as new name

[Thats2]

Buzzards, Vultures, Condors, all the carrion-eaters. I think that might turn some people off but make for some great hype videos.

I’ve always liked the stately heron. Don’t know that it would make for a good mascot, but what a regal bird!

I still think the Washington sentinels would have been best. You’re paying tribute to the guards of the tomb of the unknowns that Washington is known for. They probably would have had to buy the name rights from whatever movie company owned them but it would have been worth it IMO.

[DetroitStrong]

Well, now I think the name is really lame. They literally just took the farmers insurance jingle.

Oh yeah if they would have gone with a non-generic option, Sentinels was one of my favorities.

@sin2au

let’s not focus on whether the Washington Commanders is a good name but instead focus on the fact a red and yellow team located in Washington DC named itself something that can be shortened to Commies focus on the hilarious aspect of NO ONE realizing this over 2 years

GO COMMIES !!!

Pat McAfee has been calling them the Commies!

Will be great when the Patriots play the Commies

[sin2au]

It will be Hysterical when the Commies highlight their past heroes on the video scoreboard as they play their new found football anthem to their fans…This is literally a Who’s Who if you remember anything about world history of the last 100 years…

Soviet national anthem

I am still mad snyder didnt move his team to idaho and stick a potato on the helmet and call them the idaho red skins… red skin potatoes that is.

[BrokenGlass284]

I’ve seen so many people already calling them the Washington Commies.

You know what? They should embrace it. They should hand out bobble heads of Marx and Mao wearing Commie jerseys. The local play-by-play guys can refer to every player as Comrade, as in “Comrade Gibson takes the handoff from Comrade Heinicke…”

Absolutely. I root for Aston Villa in the EPL and they’re known as the Villans and it’s been embraced with open arms. In fact I think the owners are about to start an MLS team in Vegas called the VIllains. We’ll see if that flies with the locals.

Buzzards, Vultures, Condors, all the carrion-eaters.

The bald eagle eats more carrion than live prey too…

[Gitche]

Sounds like the name of an expensive toilet.

I know a good bit of Russian and Soviet history…3 points from that list

1. How did a guy named Kulakov make it w/o getting clipped by Stalin?

2. Iron Feliks Dzerzhinsky. Terrifying. Internal Party Mole and leak hunter. Maybe reincarnated as Dam Snyder?

3. Andrei Kirilenko- Didn’t know about this guy. There was a NBA player, same name. Nickname AK-47 (he wore #47), who was born in the Russian city where the AK-47 was first made. Weird.
