Proposal: Commanders new name....

[followthestar]

I'm sure Somali pirates are offended by the name "Raiders"

This is too funny - right up there with calling D.C. "Dallas' Byotches" which made soda come out my nose...
Really.

I think it's only right that the shoe was on the other foot for a while. They could be the Washington Nillas, etc. so that caucasians can feel the disrespect of being represented by such a sorry team.

I've got that problem solved as well... to satisfy that demographic, they can field the first all-gay roster.

Thats a great idea, especially from the fact that they don't have to make many changes to make it happen. Its pretty much the sensible thing to do in todays economy, you have to save money somehow.

LOL I am not going to ask you how long it took for YOU to look for that.....

Not long at all. Here in Redsk*ns country they actually play that on T.V.

The Washington Warthogs since the hogs is already a semi-mascot.

Already taken.

There is (or was) an indoor soccer team here in Washington that was called the Warthogs.

Washington Warriors should be acceptable. But Hail to the Commanders is still a problem. Hail to the Warriors????

Nah. Not in my lifetime.

A few more serious team suggestions....

• Washington Scarlets
• Washington Braves
• Washington Indians
• Washington Spartans
• Washington Gladiators
• Washington Aztecs
• Washington Seminoles
• Washington Natives
• Washington Pilgrims??
• Washington Knights
• Washington Redhawks

Maybe everyone should start calling you ****head. Maybe it offends you, but it doesn't offend us so who cares?

Washington Aztecs, Gladiators, or Spartans sounds good. It will eventually get changed from constant pressure.

They already do that, just look at Cooley's hotpants in that one picture.

WTH was that?

 

[PullMyFinger]

They were the Boston Braves, then the Boston Commanders when they moved to Fenway. They kept the name Commanders when they moved to Washington.

The Bullets changed their name to Wizards, not sure why this is such a hard task for Commanders fans. The name is offensive.

When they were in Boston, they should have called themselves the "Redcoats". Oh wait that may upset some Americans.

Washington Freedom

Not bad

 

[PullMyFinger]

i don't think it is in as much as the PC hype and hysteria targeting yet another name to make offensive so they can be upset about it.

washington fatboys - while i'm not only a member of that club but their leader, whatever.

we all have things that offend us in life but in my mind we need to simply grow thicker skin. i don't think the Commanders org is *trying* to be offensive, so why take it as such? do the seminoles now have to stop doing that stupid chant and tomahawk hand motion at games now cause it's offensive?

while i can understand your point, where does it end?

Its not offensive to the Seminole people

 

[PullMyFinger]

That would be hard to do, but I do believe they have a few players that would be popular with that sliver of the fanbase demographic:

LOL theres the pic!!!!!

Warriors, Braves, Indians, Commanches

The Skins started out as the Boston Braves ... named after the pro baseball team Boston Braves who moved to Atlanta.


Touchdown, Washington Commanders
