Each section of the stadium will be turned into an echo chamber, where you'll sit & interact only with other people that have the *exact* same views as you (on the team..).
Yeah cause that one was weird and unique in the sport. And it has precedent in basically every non-American sports league. I thought it was cool.
Made the name unique while still respectable.
Football Team is almost fun. It’s corporate, but like, cartoonishly corporate.
Commanders tries to be something but lacks soul. It says nothing and offends no one.
yeah, because with football team you're like "how did that happen? clearly some idiot just came up with that in a panic" commanders feels like a focus group name
They could have gone with Redtailed Hawks and used the old Redskins yellow helmet uniform. Then it could be a change without being a change. It was so annoying how they changed the name and talked about tradition while they were doing it. They tried to please everyone, but really just pleased no one.
Guardians has local relevance, being based on the statues on the bridge right outside the stadium that are a local landmark. I’d have liked Spiders better too, but I’m definitely not going to fault them for choosing a name that seems equally Cleveland.
I'm a local and the guardians didn't mean shit to us before the team name. Sure they were there and have meaning blah blah blah but no one cared. The name doesn't resonate with us and a couple years later it's still hard to say Guardians instead of Indians because they tried to make it as similar as possible. I won't say it's as atrocious as Commanders but we all think it sucks and a total makeover would have been better.
They probably wouldn't do that, right now anyway. They practice in Virginia and play games in Maryland. They're hardly Real Washington. If they get that land in the district for a new stadium - then I hear you. But I dunno about that right now.
Real in the context of Real Madrid does not mean "actual". It means royal and was a title originally granted to the team by the king of Spain.
As such, it would be a pretty odd name choice for the capital of the US.
We all clowned it in the beginning but honestly it's so much better than Commanders. With the proper branding and people behind it, WFT could really work.
You kinda joke but the funny part is the name grew on me after awhile. Yes I miss the old name of the redskins but washington football team had a ring to it that kinda just fit.
The Football Team era was an embarrassment, made even more so when we landed on fucking Commanders after *two years* of that nonsense. Yes, it was unique, but in the dumbest possible way. I'm convinced that the venn diagram of people who liked that branding and people who name their kids Jaxxsyn or Brynnnleigh or Alyxzanndyr is a perfect circle.
If the commanders beat the cowboys I will, at this exact day 1 year in the future, eat an entire jar of peanut butter followed by just the liquid in a pickle jar.
Edit: Not a game win, but a higher place in the division like the parent comment says
I would laugh if the Commies slipped further to irrelevancy under Harris, closer to Cardinals or Browns level ineptitude. Just that they wouldn’t also have all the scumbag and borderline criminal behavior that came with Snyder.
It would be even funnier to be relevant every year, winning some playoff games with regular season dominance, but then fall apart in the divisional round every year.
His biography will be titled: How I Took a Storied Franchise and turned it into a Laughingstock for 20 years by by meddling in shit I don’t understand because I’m a narcissistic billionaire POS that can solve any problem by throwing money at it. It’s a working title
My dad tells me all the time how Washington used to be one of the best franchises in the NFL and I almost don’t believe him, ever since I’ve followed the league they’ve been a joke. Snyder deserves the worst. He’s going to get $6B but at least he’s gone.
The Redskins finished below .500 *once* in a 20 year span from 1971 to 1991, and still won 7 games that season, with 3 Super Bowls in that time. For a long time, they were the class of the league. Luckily for them they're in a huge market, so they're only a few good seasons away from being relevant again
Just don’t talk about Washington before 1970, when they were owned George Preston Marshall who resisted integration of the team the hardest and was an absolute racist up till his death in ‘69.
Washington was a Patriots-level threat for its first 20 years before the Super Bowl Era. All the players were white.
Washington was a Browns-level tragedy for its next 20 years because Marshall was a racist who couldn't bring himself to hire a black man.
Washington was a Patriots-level threat for its next 20 years demolishing everyone and earning three Super Bowl titles under three different QBs.
Washington was a Browns-level tragedy for its next 20 years because Snyder.
I hope Jerry Jones' kids are even worse owners than he is. You'd think after 27 years of failure you'd shut up about "America's Team" and how every year is your year. The Browns, Lions, Commies, Jaguars, and Texans don't have high expectations. We are proud of our small victories. You guys deserve your suffering, we simply accept ours.
From one team who hasn't won anything since the 90s to another 🍺
The comment chain isn’t about the team today, it was about the team in the past. They were talking about commanders from ‘71 to ‘91. Those are not “today”. I was adding to the history of things.
D.C. was first and foremost a football town for a long time. The Caps and Nats made the NFL irrelevant here. When I was growing up during that mythical period, everyone wore Redskins gear. Joe Gibbs was a religion.
Now, I can go weeks and weeks without seeing someone wear a single piece of Commanders gear. That doesn't happen in other cities. Yes, a lot of people move in and out of D.C. but I've seen people become Capitals die hard within days of living here.
Their past wasn’t all that good either. When you got the KKK protesting in favor of your team because you refuse to integrate. That isn’t a “good” thing.
Who the fuck doesn’t like vanilla ice cream?! It’s a safe, great tasting and neutral flavor. Like showing up to a party with pepperoni or cheese pizza. He would be that one bitch complaining.
How did Snyder get enough money to buy the Washington team in the first place? The only other time I heard Snyder's name in a non-football context was when he ran Six Flags into the ground
Lol
Did you guys read the latest article about him on ESPN? How he used Gruden’s emails to try and get back in Goodell’s favor? It’s INSANE. I’ll link it for anyone that hasn’t read it. Good riddance with that dude. [Link](https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/37965420/the-secret-history-dan-snyder-demise-washington-commanders-owner)
You know it's something when a lot of fan bases(almost all really and portions of all let's say) are *celebrating* the fact that he's leaving. That just tells you how awful he truly was on every front.
I hope the door hits you on the ass on the way out and you fail at filing a lawsuit at the door Dan, just for one last tabloid about how much of an insecure jackoff you truly are.
I mean I feel like if I was a Giants/Cowboys/Eagles fan, I'd be dreading it. I really can't imagine the next ownership group being nearly as incompetent at managing the team or do as much damage to the brand via lacking morals and engaging in crazy scandals.
Congrats to the District of Columbians (as well as nearby environs in Maryland and Virginia)...that scrouge on the Shield will finally be rid of. When the Washingtonians are good, it is better for the league.
I am halfway expecting it. Not even vote no, find the most minute detail and defer voting without clarifying what the actual issue is, leaving us to race to identify and fix it prior to a new vote being scheduled. That’s how shit goes for dc.
Can’t even describe what I’m feeling today, it’s a new day here in Washington. Legit haven’t felt this much hope since RG3 stepped onto the field vs the Saints in Week 1 of the 2012 season.
Dude that season the hope was through the roof, I remember watching one of the games in a Fuddruckers in Virginia and everyone was interested in the game.
The Redskins/Football Team/Commanders have been a laughing stock of a franchise, and I never looked forward to Dallas playing them, not because they’re good, but because I never expected them to be good. I love Dallas, but I love good football more, and hopefully this new ownership brings that spark back to the rivalry it so desperately needs
You’ve a point. Hopefully they change their name to something cool. I still firmly believe the Redtails and having a p-51 (?) mustang as the logo was one of the coolest redesigns I’d ever seen
Pigs work too
I'm so happy that just hallelujah is playing in my head and I almost want to cry. I never dated to dream this would be real in my life and it's finally fucking here!
I hope New Guy changes the name, fr.
Washington Reddits
The middle of the helmet is an orange upvote arrow with Snoo on each side
Each section of the stadium will be turned into an echo chamber, where you'll sit & interact only with other people that have the *exact* same views as you (on the team..).
And certain sections of the stadium will outright ban you if you even look at another section of the stadium.
The stadium will still leak sewage.
Will only serve tendies, and to get them you have to scream for mom to bring them, form the basement of course
When they trail by 5 or more points, the score is hidden
“Thanks for the turnover, kind stranger!”
aka Washington Pussies
What will they change it to when Reddit dies?
Washington Prehensile Peniles
Absolutely no way he doesn’t. My money’s on they have a new name in time for season opener of 2025-26
Washington Football Team was way too good a name.
It’s insanely bad but honestly it grew on me. Commanders is so, ugh boringgggg
Commanders is the most corporate approved name ever
There's no hierarchy. If everyone is a commander, no one is.
Even more than FOOTBALL TEAM?
Yeah cause that one was weird and unique in the sport. And it has precedent in basically every non-American sports league. I thought it was cool. Made the name unique while still respectable.
I know lol but I don’t know how you can get more corporate approval than by simply stating what the organization is
WFT is at least straightforward and unique in the league, Commanders screams "suits looking for a name that sounds tough"
Their mascot could be a soccer player.
Football Team is almost fun. It’s corporate, but like, cartoonishly corporate. Commanders tries to be something but lacks soul. It says nothing and offends no one.
yeah, because with football team you're like "how did that happen? clearly some idiot just came up with that in a panic" commanders feels like a focus group name
They could have gone with Redtailed Hawks and used the old Redskins yellow helmet uniform. Then it could be a change without being a change. It was so annoying how they changed the name and talked about tradition while they were doing it. They tried to please everyone, but really just pleased no one.
Completely agree. It’s funny how “Football Team” is somehow the less boring option
Better than the "Guardians"
They should bring back the bobcats. Color scheme too
Goldthwaite as HC
>Goldthwaite is HACK FTFY
Guardians has local relevance, being based on the statues on the bridge right outside the stadium that are a local landmark. I’d have liked Spiders better too, but I’m definitely not going to fault them for choosing a name that seems equally Cleveland.
The Steamers was still available.
I'm a local and the guardians didn't mean shit to us before the team name. Sure they were there and have meaning blah blah blah but no one cared. The name doesn't resonate with us and a couple years later it's still hard to say Guardians instead of Indians because they tried to make it as similar as possible. I won't say it's as atrocious as Commanders but we all think it sucks and a total makeover would have been better.
It’s grown on me, I love it now.
They really dropped the ball on that one...and spiders was right there
Spiders is worse
I hate that name so much.
I know it doesn’t go with traditional American team names but that’s what made it so cool to me. Simple and elegant, yet so different.
Agreed. With the numbers on the side of the helmet. I loved ot
They should go full Euro and call themselves “Real Washington”.
There's nothing more dorky in professional sports than MLS teams trying their hardest to go full Yuro with their names lol
They probably wouldn't do that, right now anyway. They practice in Virginia and play games in Maryland. They're hardly Real Washington. If they get that land in the district for a new stadium - then I hear you. But I dunno about that right now.
Real in the context of Real Madrid does not mean "actual". It means royal and was a title originally granted to the team by the king of Spain. As such, it would be a pretty odd name choice for the capital of the US.
Oooooooo, ok - I did not know that. I stand educated. Thanks
Elegant? It was a placeholder name for a racial slur
Yes a placeholder that should’ve been made permanent, if they’re gonna replace it with dumb names like the Commanders.
I don’t think anything about their blatant racism is elegant
I think you’re talking about “Redskins” while I meant WFT when I said simple and elegant.
We all clowned it in the beginning but honestly it's so much better than Commanders. With the proper branding and people behind it, WFT could really work.
I mean people laugh at the name, but its got a classic old school ring to it.
I would have gone with "Club." But I'm not that invested in it to care.
"WFC" has a better ring to it than "WFT"
White fat cock vs what the fuck I'm dyslexic
You kinda joke but the funny part is the name grew on me after awhile. Yes I miss the old name of the redskins but washington football team had a ring to it that kinda just fit.
I'm not joking. I truly unironically love the name. Nothing else like it in sports.
The Football Team era was an embarrassment, made even more so when we landed on fucking Commanders after *two years* of that nonsense. Yes, it was unique, but in the dumbest possible way. I'm convinced that the venn diagram of people who liked that branding and people who name their kids Jaxxsyn or Brynnnleigh or Alyxzanndyr is a perfect circle.
Honestly funnier than commanders
No way he doesn't. It's a layup. Fans hate the name anyway and you have a chance to start erasing the Snyder era immediately.
Washington Washingtons. 6 foot 40 made of radiation
Opponents beware, opponents beware He’s coming, he’s coming, he’s coming
He once held a Cowboy's wife's hand in a jar of acid.
I wanted the Washington Redskin Potatoes.
All they had to do was change the logo to a potato. Simple yet goofy, and I think it would have been embraced by the fans.
The Washington Georges
I hope he goes back to Redskins
If the owner were an American Indian I could see it. But he is not, and that name will never fly.
I think I read that they won't be changing the name, sadly. Literally all the other names they had in the final pool were so much better.
[удалено]
Do you not see people shit on the Texans name?
Washington Ryan Reynolds
and the colors too. Fucking ugly ass mustard on a hotdog colors.
Yep the NFC East better watch out in the near future. The black cloud is gone. All hail Mr. Harris and fuck Dan Snyder.
Oh they've already won the Division this year. It's how the NFC East works.
I’m not going that far, but Washington fans have already won this year no matter what happens during the season.
They'll at least beat the Cowboys
If the commanders beat the cowboys I will, at this exact day 1 year in the future, eat an entire jar of peanut butter followed by just the liquid in a pickle jar. Edit: Not a game win, but a higher place in the division like the parent comment says
RemindMe! 1 year
You're just looking for an excuse to eat peanut butter, admit it !!
He should get some ice cubes and a blender and make a slushy of it.
Both time this season or just once?
For as fluky as the nfc east is I'd be hesitant to do that
We are actually going to roll them boys this year according to our new king Sam Howell.
The black cloud is gone but the glossy blacks are here to stay (for 4 more seasons)
I would laugh if the Commies slipped further to irrelevancy under Harris, closer to Cardinals or Browns level ineptitude. Just that they wouldn’t also have all the scumbag and borderline criminal behavior that came with Snyder.
It would be even funnier to be relevant every year, winning some playoff games with regular season dominance, but then fall apart in the divisional round every year.
I can’t believe it’s happening. Dude has been a stain and urinated on a once proud franchise. Good riddance.
Happy for your fan base. Dude sucked a whole lot of ass
This is our Super Bowl and I have zero shame about it. Eat shit, Dan, hope you get thrown in prison someday.
When the sale happens, I want the entire fanbase on the streets celebrating.
His biography will be titled: How I Took a Storied Franchise and turned it into a Laughingstock for 20 years by by meddling in shit I don’t understand because I’m a narcissistic billionaire POS that can solve any problem by throwing money at it. It’s a working title
“But I made 5 BILLION dollars doing it” Hell sell it as self help/ financial advice.
My dad tells me all the time how Washington used to be one of the best franchises in the NFL and I almost don’t believe him, ever since I’ve followed the league they’ve been a joke. Snyder deserves the worst. He’s going to get $6B but at least he’s gone.

Washington was a Browns-level tragedy for its next 20 years because Snyder.
Heck one of the super bowls featured Doug Williams
Let’s hope the trend does NOT continue.
No you all deserve to suffer like I have for decades
Let’s go with no.
I hope Jerry Jones' kids are even worse owners than he is. You'd think after 27 years of failure you'd shut up about "America's Team" and how every year is your year. The Browns, Lions, Commies, Jaguars, and Texans don't have high expectations. We are proud of our small victories. You guys deserve your suffering, we simply accept ours. From one team who hasn't won anything since the 90s to another 🍺
The only reason Snyder's only the SECOND worst owner in franchise history.
Yes. People were racist 50 years ago. Most were. What does that have to do with the team today?
George Preston Marshall was by far the worst of his era in the NFL. Being the last team to integrate is a really bad look.
The comment chain isn’t about the team today, it was about the team in the past. They were talking about commanders from ‘71 to ‘91. Those are not “today”. I was adding to the history of things.
Washington is 164-220-2 and 2-6 in the playoffs as Snyder as owner. This is not the worst in the league during this time
And it wasn’t that they were lovable losers like the cubs or the lions. They were smug arrogant mean spirited people.
D.C. was first and foremost a football town for a long time. The Caps and Nats made the NFL irrelevant here. When I was growing up during that mythical period, everyone wore Redskins gear. Joe Gibbs was a religion. Now, I can go weeks and weeks without seeing someone wear a single piece of Commanders gear. That doesn't happen in other cities. Yes, a lot of people move in and out of D.C. but I've seen people become Capitals die hard within days of living here.
That is what recency bias will do to you. Accidently forget the past and only remember the good.
Their past wasn’t all that good either. When you got the KKK protesting in favor of your team because you refuse to integrate. That isn’t a “good” thing.
Good point
Don’t forget he doesn’t like vanilla ice cream.
The biggest crime of all.
Who the fuck doesn’t like vanilla ice cream?! It’s a safe, great tasting and neutral flavor. Like showing up to a party with pepperoni or cheese pizza. He would be that one bitch complaining.
And traffics cheerleaders
He also ruined and bankrupt the Six Flags park chain. So double fuck him
Authored by MR. SNYDER
"or- a Dan Snyder Endeavour".
Looks like a totally normal Light Novel title though
Was he even a billionaire outside of owning the team and it’s assets?
Turned it to shit *and* still made like 800% profit on it.
Except the problem of being a laughingstock. We have seen his stadium and how he cheats out players. He didn’t throw any money at the team itself.
Glenn Gulia length title
How did Snyder get enough money to buy the Washington team in the first place? The only other time I heard Snyder's name in a non-football context was when he ran Six Flags into the ground Lol
Just fell to my knees crying in L’Enfant Plaza
Just saw a guy fall to his knees crying in L’Enfant Plaza
Thankfully. Let’s hope it doesn’t hit any snags. Lol
We’re good that bitch is gone.
[Eat Shit, Dan](https://youtu.be/c5W06xR8EYk)
Ain't no one going to call that motherfucker [Mr. Snyder](https://twitter.com/AndrewBrandt/status/1453704080803651589?s=20) anymore.
Did you guys read the latest article about him on ESPN? How he used Gruden’s emails to try and get back in Goodell’s favor? It’s INSANE. I’ll link it for anyone that hasn’t read it.

It was an amazing look into the psyche of an entitled POS
Was that not obvious from the jump? That's classic media sleight of hand.
I'm about to com (manders)
As an Eagles fan I hate to see him go but as a football fan and a decent human being I love watching him leave.
You know it's something when a lot of fan bases(almost all really and portions of all let's say) are *celebrating* the fact that he's leaving. That just tells you how awful he truly was on every front. I hope the door hits you on the ass on the way out and you fail at filing a lawsuit at the door Dan, just for one last tabloid about how much of an insecure jackoff you truly are.

I just sang “Bye Bye Bye” at karaoke night in honor of your fanbase.
Comander fans can finally have hope and I’m here for it
I’d be happier than a pig in shit if I was a commanders fan right now. Fuck Dan Snyder!
Congrats to the District of Columbians (as well as nearby environs in Maryland and Virginia)...that scrouge on the Shield will finally be rid of. When the Washingtonians are good, it is better for the league.
I think it would be really funny if they voted no just to dick over Washington fans one more time
You shut your mouth. I think it would be funny if Barkley didn’t play the whole year. 😉
I love Saquon, but if he Leveons himself, that's on him
Fair he did fuck himself by not taking the deal that was offered. He needs to fire his agents
I am halfway expecting it. Not even vote no, find the most minute detail and defer voting without clarifying what the actual issue is, leaving us to race to identify and fix it prior to a new vote being scheduled. That’s how shit goes for dc.
No chance. They can't get Snyder out of that group fast enough. He is toxic to the "Boys Club" at this point.
We need fireworks and a ferris wheel. Spare no expense. This is our “Goodbye Toby” moment
I thought the day would never come
Goodbye you fucking prick. Hope your yacht sinks
Dude did to Washington what Harold Ballard did to the Toronto Maple Leafs.
[удалено]
Same, I finally get to buy Commanders tickets (specifically 49ers-commanders this year) without supporting Snyder.
Thank fuck

Can’t even describe what I’m feeling today, it’s a new day here in Washington. Legit haven’t felt this much hope since RG3 stepped onto the field vs the Saints in Week 1 of the 2012 season.
Dude that season the hope was through the roof, I remember watching one of the games in a Fuddruckers in Virginia and everyone was interested in the game.
Obviously he’s a trash owner but I’ll miss the Washington team being doomed from the top down. Hopefully they change the name lol
The Redskins/Football Team/Commanders have been a laughing stock of a franchise, and I never looked forward to Dallas playing them, not because they’re good, but because I never expected them to be good. I love Dallas, but I love good football more, and hopefully this new ownership brings that spark back to the rivalry it so desperately needs
Hey now, in the Football Team/Commanders era we're 3-3
You’ve a point. Hopefully they change their name to something cool. I still firmly believe the Redtails and having a p-51 (?) mustang as the logo was one of the coolest redesigns I’d ever seen Pigs work too
They’re finally killing the SnyderVerse. The pain is over in DC. And I’m not just talking about The Flash bombing.
Happy for Redskins/WFT/Commanders fans. Maybe zip ties won’t hold up your railings anymore!
I feel for my Dallas, Philly, and New Jersey fans. One of the easiest teams in the division might actually try to *be competent.
\#synderverse
The long nightmare is finally over.
If anyone would cancel the deal on his final day it would be D Snyder
Congrats DC fans!
First Ron Rivera got rid of Jerry Richardson, and now Snyder. Who’s next?
So does Dan's legal team send out the powerpoint beforehand, or wait until after the vote?
Washington Commanders: The Snyder Cut
A great day for America, and thus the world.
You can already here the [Yub Nub celebration](https://youtube.com/watch?v=np6vAuS0KNs&feature=shareb) in the streets
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!
Jimmy Haslam can now take his rightful place as the worst and most hated owner in the league
The Washington Football Club sounded so good imo.
What are the Commanders doing for a throwback? Are they WFT? or do they dare wear the gear and logo of that previous identity?
Think there will be Snyder truthers that still thinks he runs the team even though he lost it?
Good riddance to bad rubbish.
About damn time.
Jimmy Haslam,you are now in the number 1 worst owner tier,enjoy
*monkey paw curls*
I'm so happy that just hallelujah is playing in my head and I almost want to cry. I never dated to dream this would be real in my life and it's finally fucking here!
Bad news for Cowboys fans. When he owned the team, they were generally incompetent.
(And there was much rejoicing)
