Highlight:

Commanders becoming Redskins again? [View all] milestogo Jan 13 OP

Been floating around trolls since they ditched the name JT45242 Jan 13 #1

Maybe you're right about the origin of the Cleveland Indians' team nickname True Dough Jan 13 #10

I agree with that -- ditch the logo and keep the name JT45242 Jan 13 #19

Agreed on the Indians. Hate the Guardians. If they had to change... brush Jan 13 #41

Personally I loved the Washington Football team Henry203 Jan 13 #2

No, it wasn't. catbyte Jan 13 #11

Thank you. milestogo Jan 13 #17

Perhaps you should pay attention Henry203 Jan 13 #23

THe Washington football team Henry203 Jan 13 #22

Your Point? ProfessorGAC Jan 13 #24

You would be wrong Henry203 Jan 13 #28

You appear to be mistaken dpibel Jan 13 #38

I liked it too Blue_Tires Jan 13 #26

People have no sense of humor. Henry203 Jan 13 #29

I was asking my friends to tell me ONE THING Blue_Tires Jan 13 #33

All my friends refer to them as the Commies. Maybe comradebillyboy Jan 13 #3

Commanders - the dopiest name in professional sports! n/t Peregrine Took Jan 13 #4

I like Washington Gridlock or Washington Monuments. nt Dulcinea Jan 13 #5

Probably goes with shitbag's pledge odins folly Jan 13 #6

Can you link me to that post? Blue_Tires Jan 13 #32

Took me a while to find odins folly Jan 13 #42

Thanks for that... Blue_Tires Jan 13 #45

The NFL is not gonna change a team's name MorbidButterflyTat Jan 13 #47

I no longer follow the NFL, but when I hear "Commander", I think of the WH dog. n/t Harker Jan 13 #7

I think of The Handmaid's Tale. milestogo Jan 13 #9

Commander. My favorite bitey dog! Wish he could make an appearance to bite Roberts and T(Felon)G. FSogol Jan 13 #27

It could happen, if he gets a ticket to the inauguration. Harker Jan 13 #34

I've pleaded with Biden to bring him. FSogol Jan 13 #35

Woof! Harker Jan 13 #36

I liked the Redskins (I'm just old fashioned) aeromanKC Jan 13 #8

If you'd ever been called a "dirty redskin," you'd feel differently. catbyte Jan 13 #13

Been called a wop aeromanKC Jan 13 #20

Yeah, but you don't see an NFL team named that or jerseys sporting it. catbyte Jan 13 #21

I actually worked with a guy who came to work wearing a shirt that said "Caucasians". milestogo Jan 13 #25

Not a chance in hell of that happening. underpants Jan 13 #12

Not coming back Coolgoober Jan 13 #14

Problem is that it's a bad name and terrible logo. LisaM Jan 13 #40

Well the bad name and terrible logo team MorbidButterflyTat Jan 13 #48

For the next four years they should adopt the name "Imbeciles". Borogove Jan 13 #15

But now they are a really good team with a great QB milestogo Jan 13 #18

And more importantly an organization filled with football professionals rather than the drinking buddies of a spoiled FSogol Jan 13 #31

I'm a diehard Eagles fan. Borogove Jan 13 #43

I don't see the new owner doing it. He seems like an empathetic person. everyonematters Jan 13 #16

It's the usual Trumper agitprop bullshit Blue_Tires Jan 13 #30

Could have just kept the name and change the logo to a potato MichMan Jan 13 #37

GOP has set lofty goals for itself. louis-t Jan 13 #39

I fully expect them to rename the team, and sometime soon, but not to the 'skins. Angleae Jan 13 #44

Like commanders name Rebl2 Jan 13 #46
