Our name sort of stood out due to its derogatory nature. It would be like if there were teams called the samurais, the ninjas, etc and we would be the chinks. Again, not taking a side one way or another but it’s fairly obvious to me why we were sort of singled out. Cleveland made their decision without real pressure. There was pressure about chief wahoo because it was pretty over the top. They probably did not have to change the name though.
Redskins by far was the lowest hanging fruit.

What the Chiefs do before their games is waaaaaaay more racist than Redskins or HTTR. It's not even close.
Fans actions vs organization. The sponsors are tied to the organization not their fanbase. It is pretty difficult to pressure the team thru their fans actions. If we are putting them on a racist scale i would probably lean towards a derogatory name though. But whatever we are just beating a dead horse. Like rik n chief said lets get a quarterback and kick ass. Call us winners.

Commanders? I am whelmed.
Hope this internet domain bs is part of the misdirection Wright alluded to on McAfee's show.If the name is not Commanders I will be amazed by the FO's ability to keep it under wraps. That is the only name out there at this point. I think Admirals was their weak attempt at misdirection and it didn't go anywhere.
If it is Commanders I will forever link Napoleon Snyder to it and the mental image of a short little egotistical man who fucked things up royally.

Thing with Snyder is he took a great franchise and turned it into a joke on every level. On the field and off.
He is literally responsible for the death of a great franchise. There are plenty of bad owners, but i cant think if another one who ruined a franchise in such a way.

Wasnt Commanders the first name that leaked then the Skins were like "haha we intentionally leaked that and we are going to leak more possible names to keep everyone guessing!"
Thats my version of events.
Have something happen you didnt want to happen .. then try to play it off like it was intentional.
