I am sure someone wittier than I can come up with a fan chant or something during the national anthem when they sing “rocket’s red glare”

That graphic is horrendous. Way too busy. I can't wait for this to be over. They have dragged this out to the point where it is exhausting.

Re: Name Reveal 2.2.22

Jason Wright said from day 1 “we want a name that represents the DC area”

Once he said that the name Redwolves was never in play. They will say “we tried” but we all know better.

Commanders fits the area and no other team has that name in any of the major pro sports.

The nba has the Timberwolves and Warriors.

Baseball has the Braves

Can’t copy those teams.

Be original

How does Commanders fit the majority of fans of the team. Yes there are military Commanders in the dmv, but that small sliver of folks is hardly representative of the area as a whole.

Re: Name Reveal 2.2.22

So any team name that is generals ,commanders, defenders, sentinels, admirals. Tuskegee airmen red tail reference , or any other name that can be associated with any military will make any fan or the team in general a war monger?

No, but I can't look past it. Maybe the team name means nothing to you, but I liked the native American identity of the team. I have no interest in cheering on the military. None, whatsoever. I have respect for the men and women in the armed forces, but not the institutions themselves. It's worse than trying to consider cheering on the Marlboro's or the McDonald's.

Definitely not. I'm just puzzled that with all the extravagant predictions of how every name could potentially become offensive one day, pretty much everybody seems to be 100% confident that naming a team after war (one of the most horrible things to ever happen to mankind, including to the brave men and women who enrol to fight in it) will never ever be considered offensive.

And just to be clear, my personal feeling is that Commanders is just boring, but I wouldn't really have any issues with a cool military name. Even Warriors was cooler. Somebody jokingly said Privates and I would actually enjoy it more than Commanders. Even Sergents would be funnier to me. Brigade, Squad...

You get the point, I don't have personally a massive issue with a military name. I'm just perplexed at the fact out of all names this would be the one considered the least offensive.

Re: Name Reveal 2.2.22

Fair enough .. but the native Americans have no interest in any sports team honoring them .. they made that clear .. even the word Indian is offensive ..The protest Braves games .. I’m sure at some point the Yankees will be offensive .. it’s gonna end up being a state controlled world .. the government will tell you what you can or can’t use as a brand ..

Exaggerate much??

And how did the government get involved with all this?

As someone who yanks deez, I find the word yankees offensive. Who wants to protest with me?
