Who cares if a name is intimidating? Not going to make you play better. Like do opponents play worse against teams w/ "scary" names? Uh oh, we can't beat Detroit, because lions are fierce animals. We better forfeit.

To me, originality is the key to a good name.

Commanders has the stench of Dan Snyder. That in of itself makes it the worst out of all the possible names.

Snyder was probably too busy funneling money from the team to care about the name.

Still that stench is there which is the second most important reason the name is hated by the vast majority of the teams fans.

I think most people hate the name because a.) it is not the Redskins or b.) it was not the name they wanted (i.e. Redwolves crowd).

I am sure there are people that don't like the name because it is associated with Snyder, but not as many as the other two groups that I mentioned.

Winning is the key to everything, if this team becomes a consistent winning team, the ownership will be able to do just about anything in terms of the name, change it (along with a new stadium) or keeping it.

Having a 3 syllable name that you can't make to one syllable is just stupid.

All of the teams that have 3 you can shorten it down... Pats, Jags, Cards, Bucs. Then you got Commanders. The only way to shorten it is Commies. smfh.. Didn't he think of this? Snyder is so stupid. It shocks me that he got to own an NFL team. I seriously hope his mega boat hits a rock like some Titanic shit- and he drowns or is eaten by sharks.

JK.. sort of... :-)

I'm going to go with he was 100% not serious lol.

I'm going to put my trust in Theismann, mainly because I actually want the name to change again. The odds of finding something I dislike more than Commanders would be very low. Basically, anything that isn't the Warriors, is no less than just as bad. Tiebreaker goes to not being tied to Dan Snyder. Give me any name that isn't Warriors or Commanders, and it's an upgrade for me personally.

Now that you say that I kind of think the Buffalo Bills are intimidating. When your team is named after a serial killer that wears a suit made of female skin that can be freaky. They should wheel out Josh Allen in a Hannibal Lecter mask and a straight jacket during game intros and refer to opposing players as Clarice.
