About the team renaming: My wife pointed out that the Commanders is the name used for the women abusers in “The Handmaiden’s Tale” series.

Of course, they were fishing for a name, and probably were thinking of the Naval Academy at Annapolis.

They should have just shortened it to “Reds”, it would have been appropriate.

In the Navy, Commandsers are O-5’s which isn’t really high rank.

They are saying “We kind of suck so we’ll go with Commanders. Now if we were really good we would have gone with Admirals”
