FReepers are always commenting on DC being full of commies. This just confirms it!

I always thought Al Michaels was pretty conservative.

The change is very confusing to me....
I know it’s not the Redskins that’s bothersome to the left, but the Washington part.

"Commies for short"
instantly blew up the internet, and my office, the second the nickname was announced.
It's just another example of how clueless and oblivious the denizens of DC are when it comes to actual people in the actual world.

In what could be described as former U.S. senator Joseph McCarthy's worst nightmare, there are indeed “Commies” in the nation's capital.
For over a century now, though I’m sure Andrew here would scoff.

So when the liberals swing back into anti-military doves from their “we’re in power” hawk mode which they invariably will. Then, they will cry that the war mongering militaristic names of the teams have to go.
To: Dr. Franklin
While riding the DC Metro in 1979 at the start of the exhibition season, everyone in the car started singing "Hail to the Redskins," which I found surprising, since few if any professional sports themes have theme songs that anyone knows.
The Rams Marching Song, which the LA Rams use, has no lyrics that I know of and sounds like a TV game show theme.

I still love Al’s story about when Captain Janks called into ABC during the OJ Simpson car chase, and how he had to hold himself back from laughing, before he finally informed Peter Jennings that it was a prank call.

The team's management could have avoided all of this by just calling the team the Lobbyists, which is who really controls the Swamp.

They could have saved a lot of money and just removed the last four letters and be The Washington Reds.

When the team is on the road, there will be banners reading "Better Dead Than Red".

Commies are animals that are very common in the Washington DC area. The name is appropriate.
To: Dr. Franklin
The nick name is confusing. When reffering to the Washington Commies it could either be the Football team or the residents of the District of Corruption.
