Uncle Buck Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 The Hogs was the way to go, but fat women may have complained. Commanders isn't too bad. The only worry now is whether there will be a small group of henpecked husbands who claim they are offended by the name. Otherwise, I think Washington is in the clear. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there actually a fat women advocacy group with any sort of of political power though? Cause if not I don't see a couple complaints here and there moving the needle enough to get another name change. Also, is 'Hogs' sooo synonymous with fat women? Eh... IDK. There's a big gap between a name like the Washington Hogs and then something like the Washington Fredrica Bimmel(s). Hogs is just a reference to a popular part of the club's history, I think it would've been fine. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think the Hogs was the perfect name due to the historical aspect of it for the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CKSteeler Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 I would have gone with Washington Engines as a nice troll job. Snyder had one redeeming quality, and now its gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apparition Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Is it a good team name? No. But does it help shift the conversation away from the massive systemic corruption and toxicity within the organization? Also no. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, the perfect name - though people probably still would have failed to see the universal logic in the name and only attributed it to the people on the side that they don't like - would have been the Washington Fat Cats. And before you bring it up, all cats feel naturally aggrieved so who really cares what the rotund ones think? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
