Commanders becoming Redskins again? [View all]

In my work meeting this morning some of the MAGATs were talking about the Commanders name being rolled back to the Redskins again. I don't really like "Commanders" either but it certainly was a step up from "Redskins" which is truly derogatory.

Anyone else heard this?
