I don't call them Commanders because that's a dumb name, I say "Washington"

Not in favor of going back. I like Red Wolves, personally. Would be a cool mascot and unique in the NFL.

It's insulting to the indigenous people when label them as "redskins"

Happy Dog • 02/12/25 10:11 AM ET
I don't think that's true at all. **
reestuart • 02/12/25 08:56 AM ET
EVERYBODY, but you apparently, calls them Commanders**
ombandit • 02/12/25 08:43 AM ET
Lots of people call them many things now because the name change was stupid
marcbvtgm • 02/12/25 10:39 AM ET
Not true. I call them the Snowflakes.
VTFinance10 • 02/12/25 10:14 AM ET
I call the fans the thinskins**
HokieRat • 02/12/25 07:19 PM ET
Disagree, it's starting to stick.**
BG Hokie • 02/12/25 08:22 AM ET
Not really. Media isn't reflective of reality.**
marcbvtgm • 02/12/25 10:40 AM ET
Where did I mention the media? Is zanderhokie the media? He's a walking
BG Hokie • 02/12/25 10:57 AM ET
Good grief. The media parroting it does mean it has wide spread acceptance.
marcbvtgm • 02/12/25 04:26 PM ET
How is the nefarious "media" referring to an NFL team
BoozVT • 02/13/25 12:43 AM ET
Good god...are some people that dense?
marcbvtgm • 02/13/25 12:23 PM ET
Good grief is right. Nobody but you brought up the media. I work in
BG Hokie • 02/12/25 07:04 PM ET
That's great. I do too and I hear mocking names as well as Commanders.
marcbvtgm • 02/13/25 12:31 PM ET
LOL, this is amazing. Can you please explain where I moved the goalposts?
BG Hokie • 02/13/25 02:39 PM ET
Personally, I thought it was a pretty dumb name change and mishandled
Zanderhokie • 02/12/25 11:39 AM ET
Really? Do people sing "Hail to the Commanders"?**
marcbvtgm • 02/13/25 12:34 PM ET
I think they actually came up with some new song
Zanderhokie • 02/13/25 01:18 PM ET
If they did, I certainly didn't hear it being sung at a bar in the playoffs
marcbvtgm • 02/14/25 05:46 PM ET
New logo for Washington **
mancunian • 02/12/25 10:13 PM ET
Sounds like you need to expand your network. I don't hear redskins anymore**
Hokie622 • 02/12/25 08:11 AM ET
Irony alert...**
marcbvtgm • 02/12/25 10:41 AM ET
Haha that's fair. "The other side lives in a bubble, but not me!"
Hokie622 • 02/14/25 11:27 AM ET
I don't call them Commanders because that's a dumb name, I say "Washington" ◄
WestyHokie • 02/12/25 07:58 AM ET
As long as you pronounce it "Worshington"**
Happy Dog • 02/12/25 08:07 AM ET
Everyone i talk to does**
hokietom87 • 02/12/25 06:25 AM ET
"I can't believe Nixon won...nobody I know voted for him."**
