Jim Bob Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 That doesn't surprise me as they were trying to go with a nickname that there were no other teams had already to avoid lawsuits. Off the top of my head, I can't think of a team named the Commanders out there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May Day 10 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Its a terrible name. Has no flow to it whatsoever. Cant even be shortened to anything and everyone is stuck annunciating a stupid 6 syllable football team name.

Not wholesome lyrics so I get the point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thenorthremembers Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Its a terrible name but it will become more palatable as time moves along. Still cant believe they spent two years as the "Washington Football Team." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillyG Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 For those that are just responding to the thread title...this still isn't even a confirmation. It's an ex player talking about a name. If you listen (and I know 99% of you didn't) a case could be made that it's his speculation and why he likes it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a time when sports teams and culture in general is becoming more sensitive toward stereotypical names and imagery around indigenous people, Im shocked that Kansas City can still do their pre-game drum ceremony and the tomahawk chop. Not to mention the fact that fans are dressed like native Americans chiefs. For the life one me, I can’t figure out how this is acceptable. It’s one thing to say that a name like “Chief” or “Brave” is a tribute…it’s another to essentially parody aspects of their culture. 2 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
