They're still the RedskinsI always thought the 49ers should have been the Packers but then what do I know? I liked the Redskins more than the name Commanders.
A lot of people liked the Redskins more, but the squeaky wheel gets greased. However my issue wasn't with the name change, it was inevitable, the name was outdated and derogative.. Honestly I think the league was tired of dealing with the controversy and hearing about it.I always thought the 49ers should have been the Packers but then what do I know? I liked the Redskins more than the name Commanders.
Still? The name never honored anyone. I think there would have been more protests by Native Americans had they not had bigger issues to deal with like poverty, healthcare, and education.You want to get rid of Redskins (I get it), however they could've and should've just renamed the team in a way to still honor the people.
Because a Cowboy is an occupation. Being an "Indian" is an inaccurate description given to them by their conquerors. Not as racist as Redskins, but still demeaning. I guess they could keep the Native American theme going by naming the team for a local tribe like the Anacostans. John Madden is no longer around to call them the "Stans". But it was best to just move on. It's just that Snyder should have moved on with a name that's not so lame.If Indians is offensive, how is Cowboys not
Same. According to podcasts from people who have been at practice we have seen maybe 1/3 of the offense. I've also heard Mills is looking good on deep passes but we have yet to see him go more than 20yrds maybe in the 1st 2 games. Apparently, this is the short passes part of the system. Because people who have been at camp, coaches and players have all said when interviewed that Mills has been very good at hitting both Nico, Dorsett and others deep. However, we have not seen any long passes in a game yet really. Lovie was very direct that they were progressing with the playbook and Mills looked great pushing the ball down field. Makes me wonder why seeing the games don't count right now that we have by and large only seen stuff like slats, digs, crossing patterns and screens. Why would you wait for the final game (if they do it in this one) to use more of the playbook? Seems you cut it close to correct anything if you are not doing it in the preseason to see if it works or needs work. Waiting for the final game leaves very little time to correct any mistakes. Also, I want to see our starting RB play more as 1 game with a 9.8yrd average is nice. Yet can he sustain it longer than a few drives. So seeing Dameon Pierce, who is largely believed to be the starter by most after game 1. That is after what he showed in game 1. And they are resting him now? Let's see at the very least 1 full quarter from him.Looking forward to see the starters play at least the first half. I’m also hoping to see at least 50% of the playbook being employed.
I liked HawgsLiked Hogs, or Hawgs.
Ok, to honor the people. One word change, are you really going to get hung up on that? Point still stands.Still? The name never honored anyone. I think there would have been more protests by Native Americans had they not had bigger issues to deal with like poverty, healthcare, and education.
Commanders is such a dry name. Like the Nationals. Liked Hogs, or Hawgs. It was part of the heritage of the franchise during their glory years. Invokes smashmouth football. The Commanders are just another Daniel Snyder fail.

I can tell you from experience most Native Americans, least the ones in Oklahoma, didn't give a flying rat's butt about the name. Most of the screaming about the name was people being offended on their behalf that never actually talked to the tribes. Do agree with you though that the name Commanders is so, so bad.Still?

I'm going to call them the Washington Complainers, because that's all I hear out of that area.I can see how Redskins name could be offensive to some. Most of the complainers weren't American Indian, they were white Karen's who hold a professional degree in being offended.
So...how to appease that base of person yet still pay homage to the Native American? I know - let's call ourselves the Commanders!
The Chief's is taken...which is the best. Braves is second best. But what about a large tribe. The Washington Cherokee's is a good name, or they could go with the Apache's. That's another good name. The Commanders is barely a level above the Washington football team. It's completely meaningless tripe made up by some group of PR people in order to not be offensive to anyone.
It's on the local Fox channel in Houston tonight. No Tillman thankfully.Is this game exclusively on Amazon or will the locals also broadcast?
Game will be on Fox 26.. looking forward to itIs this game exclusively on Amazon or will the locals also broadcast?
I did an old post regarding this issue…..I recommended the Redhawks and Washington falling back on their classic helmet with the “R” in a circle and a single feather attached to the circle. The update…..Maroon helmet instead of gold, gold outline around circle and feather, a maroon “R” on a white background, and a feather that was maroon and white. Oh, the gold face mask would be proper.Ok, to honor the the people. One word change, are you really going to get hung up on that? Point still stands.
Unlike a lot of people here I actually have native blood in me.. My grandmother was half, her grandfather was a Chief, so when I talk about this, there is perspective. They are proud people, but not complainers. Who complained more about the name? Native Americans.. or a bunch of white guilted Karens?
Thunderbirds would be a badass pro team name, they could've picked numerous other names and still kept the connection. Commanders is so generic and boring it doesn't tie into anything.. I'm glad the Chicago Blackhawks didn't cave into pressure to change their name. The team who has navigated this the best since day 1 is the Florida state Seminoles. Point is Washington just needed a rebrand, but not ditch the entire representation of native Americans.
Cleveland Guardians sounds stupid as hell too.
See there you go, that would've been perfect.. Commanders.. That's worse than just being called the Washington football team, might as well just kept it at that.I did an old post regarding this issue…..I recommended the Redhawks and Washington falling back on their classic helmet with the “R” in a circle and a single feather attached to the circle.

Oh, the gold face mask would be proper.
The current look…..comes off like someone was forced to come up with an idea in 15 minutes or they were going to be fired…..and they got fired anyways.
YesIs Dameon Pierce playing tonight? I only got to watch highlights of his performance in the first game.. if He is playing, I'm really looking forward to that.
OK by me. We know what Cooks can do. No one wants Tunsil to get another hangnail and miss the season. We don't know how many snaps are left in Britt's body. Let them sit and get the young guys on the field.On 610 they just said no Cooks, Tunsil or Britt. Reason to keep them healthy
As somebody who loves the American West whose traveled thru many Indian reservations while touring and living on that great land out there, which is my definition of Gods country, honestly I can't count on both hands the number of grade & High schools on those reservations I've seen with mascots or nicknames of Indians or some kind of Indian theme - Indians, Braves, Chiefs, Warriors, Comanches, Apaches, Blackfeet, Red Raiders, etc.I can see how Redskins name could be offensive to some. Most of the complainers weren't American Indian, they were white Karen's who hold a professional degree in being offended.

Don't count on much variation of flavor beyond vanilla.Looking forward to see the starters play at least the first half. I’m also hoping to see at least 50% of the playbook being employed.
If there's no Tillman I'm boycotting.It's on the local Fox channel in Houston tonight. No Tillman thankfully.
I like the name because it reminds me of Spencer Tillman. People either hate it or are left confused.And then we have the...*drum roll*
Houston Texans *whomp, whomp*
Speaking of, what do you guys think about my new avatar?If there's no Tillman I'm boycotting.
Are you reading this, KRIV Houston? No Tillman, NO BRISCO.

So when kids play Cowboys and Politically corrects now who kills who and since guns are about to be outlawed do they just beat each other with sticks?Still? The name never honored anyone.

why not watch gb vs kc and record tx vs 49'ers or vice versa?should we watch Texans Saints or possible Super Bowl face off GB VS KC?
solution: watch GB vs KC and record TX vs NO and study the film.
they can play Cowboys and GermansSo when kids play Cowboys and Politically corrects now who kills who and since guns are about to be outlawed do they just beat each other with sticks?
That never gets called. NeverThat was a helmet to helmet. Should've been 15 yards.
That’s not PI. Nelson looked back at the ball and Deebo slowed down, he played it as best as he couldHughes flashed first couple plays. High motor forcing a hurry.
Nelson got away with PI there.
King should have called fair catch!
