Once upon a time, like just two years ago, a name change for Washington’s NFL team did not seem possible. Now, going forward, the Burgundy and Gold representing the nation’s capital will be known as the Washington Commanders.
“We are the Commanders,” team president Jason Wright said during the Wednesday reveal on NBC’s “Today Show.” He added that the name is something the team “could own and grow for the next 90 years.”
Co-owner and co-CEO Dan Snyder said in a statement: “As an organization, we are excited to rally and rise together as one under our new identity while paying homage to our local roots and what it means to represent the nation’s capital.”
“As we kick-off our 90th season, it is important for our organization and fans to pay tribute to our past traditions, history, legacy and the greats that came before us. We continue to honor and represent the Burgundy & Gold while forging a pathway to a new era in Washington. Today may mark the first day for the Washington Commanders, but we are and always will be Washington.”
The team released a video on the rebrand shortly after the announcement:
BASEBALL... the Indians are no more, it’s the Guardians.
Don’t they mean, the Washington Comrades?
I feel so much better now...sigh
Oh, I like Commissars. So appropriate.
Wokeness is one of the reasons I no longer watch the NFL.
How about Comrades? Seem appropriate for DC these days.
So will the Guardians' fans be called Wards?
Should have named them, “ The Comrades”. Would fit right in with the NFLBLM.
“So will the Guardians’ fans be called Wards?”
That’s good. I just think of them as ‘tards. Not nearly as clever, but very accurate.
All chiefs, no braves

Better names:
RedCoats
JackBooters
InsiderTraders
PRCs
How about “Swamp Rats”.
That’s racist.
That is so gay. Might as well say: "We are the Homos"
Ah. My bad. Thanks for pointing that out.
The Native American Guardian’s Association and five individual plaintiffs with Native American heritage filed a lawsuit against Colorado, challenging the constitutionality of S.B. 21-116, a law prohibiting the use of Native American mascots by schools.
A really, really bad choice. It only reinforces the Democrat notion that Washington politicians should COMMAND the American people instead of governing by consensus.
The Washington Marxists
Washington Commodes.
Given Snyder’s recent capitulation to the deep state, how about the Washington Submissives?
