Lol, yeah well I reserve my right to overreact regarding something I've wasted so much time and energy on.

That said, I already stopped buying their gear years ago, but I can't enjoy rooting for a team that celebrates the military or federal government. I'm very much not on that team.

I'm really not a big fan of Commanders or Admirals, etc. But what is wrong with celebrating our military / military history?

Nothing, as long as the name is not used as an endless, pandering, patriotic dick-suck.

If you want to cheer for endless wars that send our young men to die for no cause other then to line the pockets of our oligarchs, and drone strikes that kill innocent children, then have at it. You have a right to your own opinion, but I am squarely on the other side of that issue.

If the name was the Militia or Continental's or something similar and was clearly not associated with the modern day military industrial complex, I could get behind it. That's not what they're going for.

Washington Road Warriors?

Btw, since everybody on Twitter is playing armchair detective, here are all the names and logo I could find in the 7min vid, in slow mo.
Wouldn't make too much out of it. Except maybe all those are most likely not the name.

Reddit sleuth with a compelling argument for Redtails.

On the choice of names I like Redtails more than Commanders. Surely the team has to know Commanders is so bland and generic it would never work. Same thing with Admirals.

Interesting, they might fuck around and keep me interested. I can fuck with some cognitive dissonance and cheer on a bird indigenous to the area that I feel a connection to.

That said, I can totally see them going with something super generic to avoid backlash from the woke contingent. I also wouldn't put it past them to not realize how many people would feel apathetic toward how generic it is.

Redtails has an amazing history in America. The biggest complaints I see about this name are 8th grade jokes that can be spun-off it. That's not a good reason to not use a name. It's like not using Redskins because 4th graders can say foreskins.

Another issue, which I agree with, is that's it's similar to using Redskins. I think Native Americans have an awesome history, and Redskins was an honorable name. And 99.99% of all Redskins fans either don't even care it references Native Americans or think it's awesome because it does. 00.01% like the name for the racist connotation. In the end, it didn't matter.

Using Redtails opens up arguments off of trying to profit off of a minority group, etc. And it's a 100% guarantee that will happen. Also, frankly, I don't think Snyder has earned the right to use such a great historical reference.

I don't think we should use any name that is human related altogether. It looks like that is going to happen though.

Really wish it could have been Redwolves, Wolves, or Hogs.

Will , I hear you .. but if you are trying to flee corporate America then it’s not much left .. Money controls everything.. From the cradle to the grave! Being a fan I’m just trying to find a little diversion in the daily struggle to get by .. Redskin football is that escape .. I have other passions but as a fan this team has entertained me for over 40 years ! I lived the Glory days cheering with my dear Grand parents .. they were big fans !! I was with them for all the Super Bowl seasons !! That is Priceless!
In a strange way even the disfunction of the Snyder era has been a form of entertainment in and of itself .. long ago I lowered my expectations so I don’t really get mad anymore .. I the Grand Scheme it’s just entertainment!
My personal feeling is I would have never coward down and changed the name but Thats just me .. so here we are ,some of us ready to throw in the towel for good .. some on the fence .. some never were fans to begin with .. the diehards will stick it out !! Heck it fixin to get real entertaining .. with the name and all the fallout from that , the search for a QB , the stadium .. the untold scandals that await us … Hollywood can’t make movies this good .. heck no I’m not leaving I’m gonna continue to be a fan and watch the show good or bad ..

I find learning new skills is something noone else can own but me. I may have to purchase tools from people I despise, but I own what I make with them. I do think we can take it back, and they may just force us to.

That said, I 100% get where you are coming from, and begrudge noone for finding relief where they can find it.

Regarding the Name Commanders.. at first I hated it , then someone on this forum bought it to attention that it is a reference to George Washington which the city is named after .. he was the Commander in chief .. a reference was made to the Buffalo Bills .. Bill Cody etc . Looking at it that way made more sense .. I still would have preferred red wolves but IF it’s commanders I can live with it .. i don’t get the admirals and the redtails doesn’t make me think of a hawk .. let’s face it we can find fault with ANY name .. we all agree that the greatest name/logo brand was the Redskins and apparently a lot of people thought it was horribly Rascist.. so what do I know😀

I think in terms of "actual" possibilities I'd be pretty happy with Sentinals, Hogs, or RedTails. If it's Commanders I'll eventually get over but really hard meh.

[mredskins]

I don't mind Warthogs I prefer it not be Hogs.

As much as i loved the Gibbs era i am just over it; time to move on from it.

Redtails is not bad, i can deal with that.

I like warthogs. It is unique has ties to the Redskins for those that need that and I like the connection to the rugby team that was in DC.

Redtails not bad either.

I would also embrace something so brazingly stupid that is makes me to an Old School Yes!
