I see the Rales/Harris news as one last effort by Snyder to ratchet up the sales price, more than an actual new entry into it. That is just his MO.

Whatever the outcome, I think we won't know for a few years if the grass will be greener, or just less of a shitty brown color.

It can’t be worse. And if it somehow is, I’ll be rooting for another team anyway.

Matty suggested Washington FC like a million years ago. Still a personal favorite, and yes, I do think the new ownership should revisit the name.

Take command!

and tuddy.

I don't like soccer at all (unless it's the World Cup), but I like original names. I could get down with Washington FC. I even liked Washington Football Team (definitely better than Commanders).

This is how I feel with the idea of another name change

Get ready for that toll then because I just can't see any new owner keeping anything that Snyder created.

I don't know about "can't see" the name staying, rebranding a multi billions $ company isn't something you decide lightly, but I'd say the new owner wanting to be the cool new guy in town, wanting to please the fanbase, and not wanting to keep a name obviously picked by Snyder and that nobody has really had the time to get any sort of attachment to, isn't unlikely at all!

I prefer the WFC. I liked how it was plain and you see many soccer teams doing it so why not.

I'd rather have Washington FC than Commanders. At least WFC would be original. It also has an old school feel that I think would reflect well on a team that's been around since the 30's.

While I still don't see a problem with Redskins I do think the Washington FC was a good alternative. Keep the same uni's. I did like the yellow helmet in the old days .

In a twisted way I would actually love the Washington Losers. Never gonna happen but it has a weird pro wrestling gimmick ring to it.
