Co-owners Dan and Tanya Snyder, team president Jason Wright and a handful of former and current players were present at FedEx Field to mark the occasion. The unveiling of the name occurred on the "TODAY" show. “It’s a name that has the weight and meaning befitting a 90-year-old franchise,” Wright said. "It's something that, we believe, embodies the values of service and leadership that really define the DMV and this community." Washington had been known as the Washington Football Team for the last two seasons after the club moved on its former nickname due to mounting pressure about the insensitivity of that moniker. https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/...ootball-team-announces-new-name-logo/2957269/ ROTFLMAO... "commanders"..... What, was "hair sniffers" too obvious?
Just curious, but wtf is the reference to the "DMV" here man? I mean, when someone says DMV, they are usually referring to the department of motor vehicles... And we know how "weighty" and "service oriented" those places are..
Too many players complained about the sunburns. Seriously almost all teams are named for animals like the.Bears and long deceased groups like the 49ers. Would you want to be associated as a people with them? Animals and defunct groups? That's the parallel, "Bears beat Redskins" is not a particularly nice thing to hear if your ancestors are native. Sure, you could ignore the ignorance but it would be like a sharp but sexy dressed black woman having to put up with being asked "How much?" Just get over it and accept people as people.
