I think your on to something here. I was thinking the Hacks, the Partisans, the Grifters, the Clueless, etc. I think the team really missed an opportunity here.
Washington Commanders it is.

Yes, I will call them the Commies. They like to be think of themselves as our Commanders. Our rulers.
they will allways be the redskins, far as I'm concerned..
folks need thicker skin across the board.
I'm a covenenter, and I'd be ok if they called them the washington rednecks...they won the glorious and American revolution. Jefferson copied the mecklenburg declaration

Welcome "newbie". How does it feel being 1ManBearPig's boyfriend? You two were made for each other....
I normally call people by their first name IF I can remember it. The name of a sports team IMO is way different than calling out to a group or even an individual person. There are in fact some Native Americans who took pride in Washington's team name back when they were winning..... Now not so much. Hell I still see Washington Redskin gear on Native American guys from out in the Winner. Martin and Wagner area. A group of Sioux tribal members designed that logo.
People were going to complain about it regardless of what they came up with. Welcome to 2022. Winking
Thats how I feel the whole Redskins name thing started, people just looking for something to whine about.
He fits in perfectly with the mess we call the NFL... What used to be the best sports league, is now a comedy tour stop.
One of the militant groups that was pressing this issue has come out with a statement now that they won't stop until ALL "offensive" mascots, team names and tomahawk chopping are removed from sports. Somehow I have a hunch that they were PAID to consult on what the new name should be. The Rainbow Coalition started a great business model for this country. Social protection rackets now abound.
It’s interesting, because they’re sort of underhandedly (possibly intentionally) white washing any Native American symbolism from the culture. As a fan of native culture, I’m not too excited about it
Can you imagine the fear of George Custer 's troops when they saw all of those warriors show up led by guys who wore that nearly identical head dress as designed by the Sioux tribe? Lots of brown in those blue calvary pants. There are some amazing historical photos of Sioux tribal members in the backlot of Wall Drug.
Washington politicians have been doing a lot of subtle, and not so subtle, jabs at us. Signals. This is them telling us "make no mistake about it, we are your commanders".
Going from a nickname that used input from some tribes to a nickname that would be given to a group attacking those who gave input on the original nickname, yeah real subtle jab.
Making everything political, which has been the push very hard the last few years, this just seems like the next step. my dad loved the ‘skins and the packers teams. Their toughness, they seems to be gone

That name would have been perfect. Honoring the past while looking foreward to the future.
As long as they kept the same colors they’ll still remind most fans as the redskins. I still prefer the Washington swamprats or cockroaches simply you vote them out of office but you can’t get rid of them
Their uniforms look nothing like the traditional redskins.
looks like an XFL team.
what a joke.
Forever Redskins.
