That's great. I do too and I hear mocking names as well as Commanders.

It seems to be a common theme with you to move goal posts when you don't have a good argument after someone contests one of your nonsensical claims. The point is there is still resistance to the latest name - and I'm willing to bet that if it were to return to Redskins, it would be accepted far more deeply and broadly. That the media uses the new name universally is not a proxy for public sentiment. I frankly don't care. I am NOT a fan of the Redskins or the Washington Football Club or the Commanders or the Comanches or whatever someone calls them. But I do call it the way I hear it.

ombandit • 02/12/25 08:43 AM ET
Lots of people call them many things now because the name change was stupid

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

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"**
