The Washington Commanders?

n/t

Yep.

Let's Go Ders.

Finally.

I dunno, doesn't sound awful. There were team names like Generals. There are Commodores & Minutemen so why not? Commander-in-chief sorta stuff.

Let’s Go, Commies.

I don't like it.

I wonder what the runner ups were?    I'm sure no name would get wide acceptance.  Honey Badgers?  That one might!

not a fan of the name.  As if football didn't already have enough military imagery.  But it gives me another reason to hate the WFT, so that's good.

The "Washington Swamp Things" was looking right at them, but they missed it.

Swamp Things is a name most people could get behind.

The Chameleons.  They could have had a cool mascot.

How about the Insurrectionists.

They really missed a lot of good names.

Swamp Things would have been universally praised.

"The Commies". 

Stolen from Tony Kronheiser PTI.

The cheerleaders could dress up in red robes and white bonnets like "The Handmaids Tale."

Stretch, nice! The card I have with this "error" is Clarence Gaston.

In one e-newsletter I get, they said the name sounds like a team about to get spanked by the Harlem Globetrotters. Made me laugh.

I expect that's why they avoided calling themselves the Generals.
