I am glad to see Snyder replaced. I have been listening to the propaganda from Harris's group. They sound just like Snyder did when he bought the team. Promises of being winners and returning the franchise to greatness. We will have to wait and see if they can succeed. But for now, there is hope.

I was too young to remember when Snyder bought the team, but I did feel like the new owners were saying things that they knew what the fans would like to hear from them.. Although I think the big difference is Harris's company bought two sports teams and then turned the teams into successful teams after the company bought them. So I think there is a light at the end of the tunnel (or at least I hope so).

Everyone would say something similar. Harris gonna come out and say, hey, we're just going to keep the team on the same path Snyder had us on? Burn this fucker down and build it back up again.

Giants is not a derogatory term , midgets is.
It doesn't have to be a derogatory term it just takes someone (anyone) taking offense. The Redskins proved that.

Only time will tell. But just from what we have seen, at least this group gives a damn about the fan base. That's apparent right from the get go. Snyder from day one made it clear he wanted to use the fan base to put more money in his pocket.

Do we have legit polling that shows what the fan opinion on the name is?
Let’s go out and have a good season, maybe win a playoff game, see what it’s like to have actual adults running things, and then see how many people still want to bail over a name.
Agree. I'd like to see real polling about the fan's opinion on the name.
I'm not a big fan of the name Commanders but when I look at the other names Commanders is better by a mile. The other names sound like minor league baseball teams. I see no reason to change from a so-so name to a bad one.

My preference would be a Native American reference. But that's not going to happen. So if it does change, I'm settled on Washington Hogs as my favorite choice.
I've accepted Commanders and Snyder is gone, so I'm happy as a fucking clam. The name change isn't a priority for me. Just happy we are free from that asshole.
Training camp is FUCKING PACKED!! Fans chanting Thank you Harris!
I'm super excited for our 1st game. It's gonna be wild seeing that stadium packed w/ actual fans of our team.
LFG!!!!!

How about the Washington Indigenous's? ;)
I can live with a renaming as long as it's done properly this time, and Harris shows willing to do what's needed to get the fans choice of name. i.e. Buying out image rights, donating to a school to allow us to share the name, etc. Snyder went with Commanders because it was cheap and easy. I liked Red Wings, Red Wolves, Hogs, and all would have made some kind of sense, but I'd be happy with the consensus vote as long as he listens to the fans.

I don't see how Commanders was cheaper or easier than any of these other stupid names. I don't think anyone on this site has seen the details and financials of the choice.
Not sure how any of these make sense. Detroit's hockey team might take issue with Red Wings. Red Wolves makes zero sense and Hogs was an aspect of the team 30 years ago but is irrelevant now. All the good names are taken and Commanders is the best of a bad bunch.
