    Why not the Washington Cancel Cultures? It would be much more appropriate for how it arrived at the name in the first place.

    I actually like Washington Football Team better. Even like it better than the Redskins. At first I didn't but it kinda grew on me a bit.

    I thought Washington Football Team was a good poke at the whole idea of having to change the name in the first place. Not that I care what another team is called, but I'd have liked it better if they kept it.

    :facepalm: Went from Redskins to Commanders because what Native Americans really venerate is the American military that forced them onto reserves. You can see how little they actually cared about Native input. And I don't think Natives will be offended at Commanders. The majority of Native Americans couldn't care less. The point is that there was no consideration for Natives. It was just White liberals worrying about their own egos and making sure they could feel good about being politically correct.

    They should have just went with Washington Warriors and kept the logo how it was rather than erase all traces of Native Americans from the team's history. They've whitewashed their history. There was nothing wrong with WFT either.

    Yeah. I liked the Football Team as well, for the same reasons that @SteelinOhio mentioned. I personally thought they were going to go with Warriors, but I do think Commanders is a good choice.

    I like it a lot better than Commanders. All the football clubs in the English Premier League are known by their cities not by nicknames.

    Washington Renegades should've been the choice. Could've kept the classic "R" logo helmet. No different than the chiefs.

    The Uniforms are the biggest offense in my opinion. For that matter, the color schemes are nothing more than a mash up of the Arizona State Sun Devils and the University of Minnsetoa Golden Gophers. Talk about a horrible combination.


    Where on Earth do people come up with such ideas is something I do not want to know, do not care to know and do not care to care in the slightest!! :eek:

    Their name in that movie was Sentinels which actually sounds a lot better.

    Which sounds better?
    Cowboys...Commanders tonight on Monday Night Football or Cowboys...Sentinels tonight on MNF?

    They could have just been the ‘Skins. Then cancel culture the Cowboys (insensitive to shepherds) into changing their name to the Shirts!

    Not the same at all. Cancel culture is about punishing an person, group, ideology, etc. This falls under general political correctness. Cancel culture would be if the team was removed from the league altogether.

    That's like saying you want Ford, Chevy, whatever to release a new model called the "Car."
