I just read that they're bringing back the marching band and revamping the words to the fight song. Bro, you can try, but that crowd is singing Hail to the Redskins when that tune plays, no matter what words you flash up on the jumbotron.

I have mixed feelings about that. I loved the fight song, and I want to be happy that they listened to those of us saying it needed to stay. But I'm not sure how it connects well with Commanders... But I'll wait and see the revamped version.
No matter what, glad the song is staying.

I think they want to make sure they still play the tune knowing full well people are going to use the old lyrics. They can’t say it but I think they want it that way.

For now? For sure. But 10/20 years from now ? Are today's kids doing to know the lyrics of the fight song of a team they never cheered for ?

They aren't going to play the old tune with new lyrics. They have said it will be a new arrangement of the song so there will be familiar elements to the tune but it will sound more different than the same.
