It’s a worse name than any other name they pick. I won’t keep calling them that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripsean21 Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 I think it’s funny that the media is selling this franchise on the fact we will like the name if we win🤣🤣🤣. That is probably true but we don’t do that here. I think it’s funny their trying to sell the name based of what could happen. We’re Washington fans that’s all we’ve ever been sold is what could happen. But what could happen always 110% of the time under Snyder doesn’t happen. So as a fan base we shouldn’t temper expectations to accept what they did. We should go to congress and express our displeasure with the rich/ NFL getting away with their own rules and being untouchable. I thought about giving in and accepting but the truth is Snyder deserves the same thing he’s given this fanbase. **** sandwich’s💯💯💯 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren't cool predator names or denote any real personality about the city. It would be like Nashville calling their team "country music" or U VA calling their team "Founding Fathers". Actually, founding fathers would be a cooler, less generic name than Comms, Caps or Nats. It would be more like the Virginia Jeffersons, and I think the worst part about all of this is that Commanders does not have a shortened name...

I agree and that seems like a deal breaker to me ! Also, no clear logo- all seem to be generic . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can’t pick a favorite out of “Coms,” “Commies,” “Mandies,” and “Ders,” we’re just being overly picky. 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they do, but Panthers? Bengals? Chargers? I suppose they're shorter names to start, which helps. Chargers I guess are called the Bolts sometimes. Could be come up with a completely different shortened name for the Commanders? COs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every way this thing could possibly leak, it’s leaked. Like, no one could be this bad at this stuff. It’s almost unbelievable, to the point that it feels like it must be intentional, to make us all think that it’s Commanders when it’s actually something much better. Obviously it is Commanders, though, and it’s just yet another reminder that these guys could **** up just about anything. Ask them for a pizza, it’s burned and they put chopped up raw Brussels sprouts on it to “add needed flavor” because they got a great deal on American cheese. Ask them for a touching social media post, they’d honor Betty White with a post reading “Happy 100th (and many more), Blanche!” Ask them to get you a beer, they’d go grab a White Claw. And it turns out it’s not a White Claw, it’s a La Croix. And it’s warm somehow. Edited January 31, 2022 by e16bball 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
