Welcome your Washington Commanders

I'm happy watching any NFL game. If tomorrow there was no team in DC I'd be fine just following the league in general.

Yeah I'm a fan of players all over the league

Me too...and I'd bet most on here feel the same. However, that little taste of what we got to experience back in 2012 with the team and RGIII reminded us that were old enough what it was like every season during the 80s when this team was always in contention...and I definitely miss that feeling when watching our games now. It was all about our game that week, and then everyone else's. Nowadays, if the Chiefs vs Bills is on same time as our game...some of us probably watch that game and just keep check on our score.

Football is my favorite sport, but having a rooting interest just makes it so much better. That being said how many great games have I watched that didn’t involve Washington? I vividly remember watching the Chargers vs Dolphins epic battle with Kellen Winslow! Probably the greatest game I have ever seen.
As long as the Red Commander Football Team is around It’ll be my only team. If they did disband , well then I would probably root for someone else.
Funny cus it would be either Miami or the Chargers and has nothing to do with that game. Rams would be on the short list too.

It all comes down to Snyder. If somebody else (a Rooney, Mara, MTK) owned the team and named it Commanders, I would have little problem cheering for them.

Fuck Mara. Lol

Yeah but you don't live in the DC MD VA area, it suck to have no team to go watch.

I'm happy watching the Ravens, even though their fans can be obnoxious sometimes.

In terms of my Washington fandom, there have been plenty of times when the team has sunk to the lowest (firing Marty, getting rid of B. Johnson, Spurrier, Zorn, Vinny, Bruce Allen, etc., etc.) where I could have stopped being a fan. I feel like if I didn't stop being a fan for those awful episodes, a stupid name change is not going to change my mind.

I do agree like many that my level of enthusiasm is low, despite continuing being a fan. And my approach to this team has always been to expect the worst and hope for something okay.

My approach to watching sports has changed over time as I got older. I used to live and die with how my team did. Now I approach sports like a movie, if the good guys (my team) win that's good, if the bad guys win but there's a good plot (a close action packed game) that's ok too.

Me as well but ....

Things were much more interesting and exciting during that 4 game win streak. We were fans of an actual football team for a month!

The second the skins start winning again and being relevant ... im back to yelling, screaming and streaking.

Wow … 3 very prominent Black Washington executives and players announced the team name with a statement and yet we have some here accusing them of towing the company line ?? Some if you need to grow the f up .. good for Jason Wright !!! So now Wright only does what the man tells him .. he can’t think for himself .. what a damn insult to the only black team president in the NFL …

I wanted to comment on this but waited... When Doug became the 1st black QB to win a SB it was a big deal back in 1987. A big deal. As a black man myself that played QB I had tears in my eyes when that game was over. I knew how important Doug was to a lot of people in DC even though his career here was short.

This organization through the years has used him as a pawn. They always trot him out there for PR things or to make the organization look good, but what is his role at this point? Has he ever had a prominent role in the organization? Not really. When they need him to make them look good here comes Doug. It's sad if you ask me. They know Doug's untouchable in this town and they use him because of it.

He was demoted when Ron was hired. Why? Dan could have given him the GM job many times but didn't. Instead he had Bruce Allen? Vinny Cerrato? A overrated drunk? SMH And that crap last week on Today was just awkward and sad.

As far as Wright is concerned, I'm happy when black men and women get a shot in a position of power in the NFL. However part of his job is to take the heat for the owners. I'm not buying that Jason is stupid enough to put that fucked up looking patch out there. Or those crappy uniforms. I would be willing to bet that is mostly Tayna. I doubt Dan would got that far away from the uniforms. Jason has to take the heat for that.

The over under on Jason imo is 3 years and I am taking the under. He's playing w/ snakes. And yes, Doug, Jason and Allen all tow the company line. They're all company men because that is what they get paid to do.
