Because Commanders is about the stupidest name for a team imaginable?

Well it's minority erasure isn't it. Red skin might be a slur but it isn't exactly one thrown around these days, I always just find it funny when these native groups basically say they don't give a fuck but the overly sensitive white people pretend to get offended on their behalf anyway.

I'm not sure if it is exactly racist or not but it's super condescending and frankly comes across as actually superiorist when you go about fighting other people's battles for them that they aren't even fighting themselves.

Me I don't really care what they call the team, they could change the name to the Washington Crybabies for all I care. If the community wants to change the name let them, but I think it's clear to everyone it is basically a top down decision that doesn't reflect what the "community" wants.

But it's also a privately owned team so they can change the name to whatever **** they want for all that I care. How about the Washington Porkies? Or perhaps the Washington Parasites?
