Come up with a new name for the Redskins

That's just silly. Washington Commanders is almost as perfect as the Buffalo Bills when you consider that Washington was considered the best Military Commander in the history of this country.

A team in the nation's capital, surrounded by all that history' has to reflect it in some way in its name, like the capitals and the Nationals IMO

Thank you !! Your analogy of the name Commanders in reference to George Washington made complete sense!! Count me in as a fan of the Name now hopefully they will use it!!

Of course I also don't get how Buffalo Bills is a perfect fit either.

Commanders is long that’s my only Issue but it fits the DC theme and it’s also unique. I can’t think of another team with the name. Other than that AAF team

I agree it’s a bit long but so is Buccaneers.. if we win the name will be embraced .

I love how Washington Twitter keeps saying the name will be released soon lmao do these guys have some kind of inside source or something?? I did see the jerseys are on sale now tho

Let me get this straight.

For 83 years, we were called the Redskins- a name that had absolutely no connection whatsoever to the Washington area. Now that we have been forced to jettison the name, the new one has to have connection to the area?

Not seeing the logic.

Redskins had a faint- very, very faint- connection to their origins in Boston. The colors were influenced by those of Harvard and Boston College. The Indian moniker might have been a nod to the Boston Tea Party, but that is one of several stories and its unknowable.

So now historical connections are primary? So much so that we have to settle for a lame name like Commanders? When did this paradigm shift happen?

Not a lot of lakes or sheep in Los Angeles. Utah never was and never will be a Jazz mecca. No magical beings running around downtown DC.

We never needed a regional connection and don't need one now. Besides, how long before the same fuckwads start yammering about our militaristic name or that it is a connection to a guy who owned slaves?

And the last line about Washington owning slaves is why I think an animal name is the best/safest route.
