    The story is pretty awful - I'm not going to bother linking to it because its behind a pay wall, but the Post is reporting that at least 15 women, including 2 sports writers were harassed.

    The new name, by the way, has been announced as the #Metoos.

    Washington Football Team?!? That's pretty solid evidence there is to be no 2020 season.

    Should have been "The Washington Football Club". "Team?" looloo idea, even if it's just to say nothing.

    I want it to be Washington Team Football, just so they make the abbreviation part of their logo.

    It's "Commanders"

    Oh well. I guess it's better than Guardians. So glad we have Bengals here

    Every new nickname in pro sports in the past 30 years has seemed ridiculous when announced, but we eventually get used to them. Give the Guardians and Commanders 5 or 10 years, and you won't think anything of it anymore.

    We'll get used to it but I'll never like it

    Re: The Washington Redskins considering changing their name and logo

    "Guardians" and "Commanders" both sound pretty lame to me, but Boston Red's post about getting used to a nickname has merit. "Packers" is an iconic nickname now but would probably sound lame if it did not already have a century long legacy. I understand that "Red Wolves" had some trade name issues; I was actually hoping Washington would go with "Red Hogs" to harken back to their teams under Joe Gibbs.
    For the most part I like team nicknames which sound like something a bunch of kids would come up with to name their team.

    I think I speak for most Washington fans when I say, You had two years and this is the best you could come up with? I also agree that people will get used to it but what a disappointment, though not a surprise given who the owner is.
