Re: The Washington Commanders?

Sounds like the name of an XFL team. Has the same weird awkwardness as the Cleveland Guardians. Most of these traditional franchises have names that are actually based and built by the culture. These feel like they were chosen by Marvel or something. I think Tennessee did a good job with Titans. Tampa Bay did well with Devil Rays. These feel unique and like they have a purpose. Commanders will never feel right.

Don't forget that after being pressured the Devil Rays officially changed their name to the Rays back in 2007. And, yeah, the Titans name was a good one.

It's in DC so it'll seem natural to hear the fans yelling "Let's go Commies!"

Some state side personnel may miss that reference, Cru.
