The former Washington Redskins football team, that for the last couple seasons played as just the Washington Football Team now has a new name. Unvailed this morning they will now be known as The Washington Commanders.

Wonder how long it takes for people to find that objectionable. :roll:

The Washington Commanders.


HATE. IT.

Might be the worst name ever. 
Don't like Cleveland's name either.  The Guardians.  I understand the reasoning behind it, we have friends from there, but I really don't like it.

Just think of all the people who hate being "commanded". Guess their reaction will be the same as our Sheriff. Uh oh... she's strapping on her spurs and ready to kick some Commander butt. :D

I thought that the Washington Monuments was a good name. I don’t understand why we need a mascot, other than for marketing purposes. Why don’t we just call all the teams by the city that they represent? That’s the way people talk about them in the media.  Of course, Los Angeles gets five teams and San Antonio zero, so why quibble? San Antonio is the largest city in America (7th in size) without an NFL team.

I liked The Washington Football Club. It seems so (can't think of the word this early), grand? classic? noble? vintage?   It's just straightforward.

San Antonio is the largest city in America (7th in size) without an NFL team.

I've always thought that the way major league sports teams (NFL, NBA, MLB) are placed has no rhyme or reason. Below are some random thoughts about that.

I think the NBA has the largest number of cities where it's the only major league game in town. Off the top of my head I can think of five cities (Salt Lake City, San Antonio, Oklahoma City, Sacramento and Portland) that all have an NBA team but no MLB or NFL.

The second-largest city in California and eighth largest in the country (San Diego) has only an MLB team, now that the Clippers and Chargers have moved to LA.

The third-largest city in California (San Jose) has none of the above. San Jose is the 10th largest city in the US. Number 11 is Austin, which also has no major league teams.

Atlanta is the 39th largest city, but has all three major league teams. I think Minneapolis is the smallest city (46th largest in the country) to have NFL, NBA and MLB.

Pittsburgh isn't even in the top 50 largest cities and yet has both NFL and MLB, but no NBA.

New Orleans isn't in the top 50 either and has NFL and NBA, but no MLB.

If I remember correctly, there are only 14 states that have a major league baseball team, which means 36 states do not have one.

One of these days I'm going to sit down with a map and figure out which state is the farthest away from an NFL team.

Hawaii    ;D

Besides Alaska and Hawaii, I would say South Dakota

To me, it seemed reminiscent of the early days of the sport, when men still wore leather helmets and no shoulder pads. Just give the ball to the big guy.

Denver really screws up the whole central plains/Rocky Mountains region. But my guess is Montana.

There’s one person who has kept San Antonio from getting a ball club for 30 years. Jerry Jones. He’s on the NFL Executive Committee.  The Raiders would have been a perfect fit. And SA even has a largely unused domed stadium, built for its old USFL team, the Gunslingers.

That's  a great map. I never really thought about how many teams there are in the eastern half of the country.

I think you're right about Montana. I could be wrong but it looks like it might be the only state that doesn't at least have a common border with a state that has a team.

Having just looked at this thread, it seems to me that Purpleshoes does not think the National Hockey League is a major league. Does it generate the amount of money that the No Fun League (NFL), NBA or MLB? No. But it is the best collection of hockey talent in the world.

FWIW, Montana may not border any US states with any major league teams but it does border Alberta which has 2 NHL teams (Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames).

That is all.

The Commanders is a stupid name.  Aside from the fact that Dan Snyder is literally the worst human being associated with the NFL by a country mile, and that's including DeShaun Watson and his 22 sexual assault lawsuits, the name falls flat for being inspiring and too long.

Most sports names are 1-2 syllables long.  Any longer and they get shortened or the fans give them a nickname.  it makes chanting for them easier, like "Let's Go Giants!" or "Here we go Steelers, Here We Go! CLAP CLAP!"  Those chants work great for two syllables.  Team names longer than two get shortened, like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.  They're called the Bucs.  The San Francisco 49ers go by the Niners.  The Patriots became the Pats.

What will the Commanders get shortened to?  The Commies.  "Let's Go Commies, Let's Go!  CLAP CLAP"

Always close the program you're running before exiting the holodeck

The other day when I saw Commanders in an article on draft picks in the NFL, I thought I missed the news that the NFL has a new team and said to myself what a crazy name for a team. Just doesn't seem like a football team name.
