Either way, that issue is over and done for me. Time to move forward.

I think Commanders makes the most sense. It can tie into the military as well as a nod to politics in DC. It's generic and not offensive even with the most magical of thinking.

Magical if not delusional. The indigenous peoples of the Americas do not have red colored skin. I would think that obvious, but there's that magical thinking again.

We are moving forward. We are not discussing bringing Redskins back. We are discussing what would be the best name and that is where you and I diverge radically.

I favor something that keys in on continuity and history. Something that can retain most of our logos, our fight song, and similar. The advantage to that is we move forward without completely jettisoning the past. The change is minor, nontraumatic, and gets us well away from the woke's crosshairs.

You favor a complete makeover from top to bottom. You are getting an NFL expansion team in all but name (pun intended). The only link to the past will be .... <drum roll> .... Daniel Snyder. In essence, you will be rooting for a team with a USFL sounding name owned by a scuzz. Frankly, I do not see any appeal in that.

Now, don't get me wrong. If you are cool with that, more power to you. But imho if we are getting a new team, why not choose a new team like Green Bay which is run by people of a serious nature?
