The Navy always comes to mind when I hear the word Commander.

It isn't in my top group of choices, but I'd also be OK with it.

And all military services have Commanders at all levels. They are ultimately responsible for the accomplishment of their respective unit's assigned tasks and missions. Could be as low on the totem pole as a Tank Commander, to as high as the "Commander in Chief".

It's a dumb name for a football team though IMO.

Sounds like an arena/USFL team name, dumb. Might as well name them the generals. Maybe the dead Kennedy’s.

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins

Once the newness wears off, it will be just like any other name. In a vacuum plenty of other names aren't that great when you think about it.

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins

It's like saying San Diego with the Chargers. In time that becomes less of an issue.

Redskins is gone. Sucks but that's life.

Not really as they started in Los Angeles. The Redskins started in Boston and were once the Braves. Doubt they miss them.

Speaking of LA, the Rams would be a good team to elevate to No 1. Better than Commanders. Sucks to ditch your team but that's life after all.

That is the reality. I know I'm not going to like the new name at first, but in the end it's just a name.

Re: Come up with a new name for the Redskins

Will always be redskins, will always refer to them as redskins.

Don’t care what the new name is, will continue to use Redskins as there is nothing wrong with the name

Right on.

Another funny thing. Watching the news, I have seen two different BLM rallies where one of the guys being interviewed was wearing a Redskins hat. Not that sterile, Waste Management W, but the full blown Native American from the helmet.

Monty Python could not script better irony.

Other than the fact it's not the name anymore, but hey you do you.
