This is insensitive to those who are being commanded. Are the commanders somehow superior to them? Why are they bossing people around like that? Dreadfully elitist and offensive.
So Washington Commies it is. Very fitting. They more or less stole the colors from another Indian mascoted team, FSU, and then bolted on some USFL quality name. Were "The Generals" still under copyright? Oh to be a marketing consulting outfit. You get paid big $$$ for years, to come up with something worse that if you asked your employees to submit ideas into a drop box in the lunch room, with the winner getting 10 shares of stock.
Washington Kickback Kings was viewed as too long, but the alternative of Washington Kickback Kings Kluster was viewed as possibly insensitive.
That looks like a giant used tampon with a discharge streak running down it. Just like the quality of the players, coaches, and owner. Also, if this tampon-mobile is heading around the DC area as stated: These Commander cars are headed around the DMV today Be on the lookout They should tell the poor saps risking life, limb, and car jacking to have some hidden cash for taxi money if they get the car stolen from them.
Commanders are the elite class of ruling men in The Handmaid's Tale who turned the US into a theocratic hellscape. So if they're going for the fear angle... not bad.
If I were the owners I would have reached out to the Comanche nation and promised 1% of all profits to be paid to the nation to have the rights to use their name. Not only would it be a huge financial gain for those in need on reservations and replace Redskins with Comanches (arguably the most feared waring tribe) but it would also absolutely rub it into the face of those demanding the name change in the first place.
Vol, There are only "those in need on the reservations" because the BIA won't give them the money that is rightfully theirs. An example, a business deal provides the tribe $400 million a year tax free and has for 30-40 years. Each of the nearly 1000 members of the tribe was getting $1600/month. Rest of the money sits in CDs. I was told that BIA recently increased that amonth to $3500/mo.
Nice thought, but 1. Comanches weren't very populated in present day DC, Maryland, or Virginia. It's a better name for Texas, Oklahoma, or New Mexico based teams. 2. I'm convinced the league has dirt on Synder that would get him banned from the league a la Sterling in the NBA. The deal was the NFL promised to bury it if he dropped the Redskins name. Picking Comanche even if he had the tribe's blessing wouldn't likely satisfy the NFL.
Doesn't matter when you are looking for a tribal name to fear. Plus, it sounds much better than the Washington Nentego's.
The Giants are happy as this clearly means someone else will be commanding last place in the NFC Least...
If you do not know who Candy Barr and Linda Lovelace are google them and Sabre's comment will make sense.
