I don't care if we keep the name or not. But this change wouldn't be embarrassing at all. It would be 100% warranted. An official super duper fresh start.

A new team name would be a good thing. All vestiges of the person who held this fan base hostage for nearly a quarter century should be eradicated and never spoken of again.

They had the list and fan voting and so on, then when they announce the name it wasn't even one on the list. So the name was a great big FUCK YOU to the fans from Snyder. That's why i want it gone!!

Was curious to see the numbers on your overall posting. Made it pretty easy since you joined this month of 2004. I just divided your total posts by 19. 253 posts per year. Less than 1 a day. I love your efficiency of going hard to the hoop. You don't shoot 3's, you're trying to dunk on people.

I don’t think wishing AIDS on Tuddy is very nice

Jason Wright should be first to face the Jamf fingerblast toss before Tuddy.

Figngerblast top rope toss list:

1. Jason Wright
2. Troy Apke
3. Tuddy

The issues is not that a majority dislike the name, but that a vast majority outright hate the name. You can't have a fanbase that hates the name. Eventually they will leave due to that hatred.

Do we have legit polling that shows what the fan opinion on the name is?

Let’s go out and have a good season, maybe win a playoff game, see what it’s like to have actual adults running things, and then see how many people still want to bail over a name.

Matty up watching The Ocho this morning. Nice!

The name will ALWAYS be an issue with the majority of the fans. They would still be the REDSKINS if Snyder wasn't such a horrible owner that Fred Smith used it as a way to get back at him...and then have that on top of the horrible name Commanders that Snyder chose...it's just a constant reminder of how it was with him here. If the Chiefs were sold next year and the new owner changed the name to the KC Midwesterners...you think their fans wouldn't bitch because they were still winning all the time???

Hopefully this name thing dies down a bit now that we're in camp. It's exhausting. Yeah Commanders is a crappy name, but there is nothing that can be done about it right now- so not sure what the sense is beating it to death.

But I do believe that when the time is right, probably after the season, Commanders is gone. Doesn't matter if the team goes 17-0, barely anyone wants or likes it.

Winning cures everything. If this team won the division and a playoff game fans would love tolerate the name

Of course if the team starts winning big people won't bail over the name not changing... But this name has obviously been picked by Snyder and Snyder only, nothing in the rebranding process led to this name being picked except Dan liked it cuz consciously or not it fed his ego.
So, while I'm aware rebranding a multi billions dollars franchise ain't an easy thing, it always made sense to me that changing the name would actually be one of the easiest things the new owner could do to be the cool guy in town.
I hear how it's exhausting for us to go through this again, but keep in mind 2 things:

-for the new owning group, this is the first rebranding, they didn't go through the first one
-a few decades down the road, nobody will care that we had to endure 2 rebrandings in a span of a few years, everybody will be like "yeah the *whatever the new name will be*, that team used to be called the Redskins, then the on his way out owner was kinda forced to change the name, but it sucked and the new owner changed it again", and we will be among the very few old fans actullay remembering that there were a few months when this team was named "Washington Football Team" and "Washington Commanders".

I won't be as adamant and active in the process this time around, cuz I'm pretty positive I'll like the new name better than the actual one, but this actually is the smart thing to do IMO.
