It seems Snyder is intent on not having a mascot until the idiotic cancel culture pendulum finds its sanity and allows him to reinsert the name "Commanders."
If that never happens, he'll know people still will refer in conversation to his team as the Commanders, which is the second best option in his mind. Plus, he'll have the lone distinction of having a cool soccer-like team name. Chelsea FC, Real Madrid, Inter Milan, Bayern Munich, Manchester United, FC Dallas......Washington Football Team.
And the Alabama numbers on the helmets actually look cool.
I'm rooting for the guy on this.
