Honestly I don’t care if they change the teams name, not my business and I don’t care enough about the NFL… but “commanders” is one of the most boring, bland, nondescript, unenthusiastic names for a team I could think of. Redskins is far preferable as far as emotional connection goes. Rams, Raiders, Chargers, heck even Dolphins has more of a connection. Even Browns, Vikings, Seahawks, Cowboys, Falcons…. Considering they are from Washington, the namesake of our heroic general and first president, they should have taken a name related to him, his battles, his victory whathaveyou. For pure alliteration, the Washington Warhawks would have been better.

Even "Washington Generals" would have been better. But they would never have gone for that in 2020. It would have referred to George Washington. Remember he's a bad guy now.
