SUMMERFIELD, MD—The Washington Football Team changed its name this week, finalizing a year-long transition from 'Redskins' to 'Commanders.' Along with the shiny new name, the team announced a brand new mascot: General George Custer.
"We wanted a mascot that would represent the ultimate commander," said team owner Dan Snyder. "Someone the fans could rally behind as we make our last stand on defense."
General Custer, who famously said, "There are not enough Indians in the world to defeat the Seventh Cavalry," will be on the sidelines every game to cheer on the Commanders with the crowd.
Native American leaders have been critical of the new mascot. "Commanders is vague enough to be inoffensive, but this mascot makes everything worse. Custer was famous for reveling in the slaughter of native tribes," said Chief Rolling Hamster. "I'd prefer they call themselves the Redskins at this point."
Notable Indigenous Person Elizabeth Warren also expressed her disgust. "That you would parade a white man mascot around instead of a Native American is abhorrent. Are you saying Native Americans can't be commanders? I'm tired of rich white people making these decisions!" she lamented from her mansion in Cambridge.
According to sources, fans in and around the nation's capital just want to enjoy some football for once in their lives.
Seems like the Bee is reeling in a bunch with this one.
The Washington COmmanders will become a laughingstock as soon as “The Washington Commies” takes hold...give it a day or two.
So Lee surrendered at Appomattox because of a ‘incompetent General’?
Custer was very good at goning forwrd to a fight - charging !
He wasn’t so good at thinking ‘Is this the right time to do it?’.
He always over estimated his troops and underestimated his opponents.
Which means that he won when he should have lost because his opponent would always go, what the heck, he is attacking! Must mean he has more troops then we thought. Retreat!
Does not work so well when you are facing troops who vastly outnumber you and know the ground.
Inflaming Native Americans??
You’re saying that the South was defeated by Custer?
Might as well name them the Commodores, after a computer that was popular the last time they won.
I love that the Redsk... I mean Washington Commies organization is so inept that it seems most here immediately accepted this satire as legit news. From that band of dopes it’s believable.
The who? Who is this ‘South’ ?
Custer defeated the traitorous democrats.
I would vote for the WC logo.
After all I have been calling them the WTF for a while now.
really, loser Custer?
The best movie about Custer is Son of the Morning Star. Great music soundtrack too. His wife Libby never remarried. She spent her years defending her husband.
Consider the source...
Ooooh sizzle...slam dunk! :p
“Have I ever told you of my exploits as a life guard in the 1960’s and my encounter with a ruffian who went by the nom-de-guerre of ‘Corn Pop’?”
“Why, no, Commander, I don’t believe I’ve ever heard...”
“Really?!? Well...! Let me begin by informing you first that Corn Pop was, in the parlance of the local youths in those days, a ‘bad dude’...”
Then, when the team is having a bad year, we can say they are in the sh*tter. In fact, that is what they should name thier stadium.
Also, troops who won't retreat for any reason because their families are in a vulnerable position.
