The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

I wonder if they like my comment?

It;s official. WFT is now called The Commanders.

Cue people complaining that they should have been called the Warlords.

… Know it sounds funny
But our team just can't stand the pain
Fans, we're gonna lose tomorrow
Seems to me, fans
You know we will lose all we can
You see, Snyder begged, stole, and he lied, yeah, ooh

… That's why beating us is easy
It's easy like Sunday morning
That's why beating us is easy
It's easy like Sunday morning


Oh, wait. Commanders. Not Commodores.

...Commodores would be cooler. If you're a friend of the Commodores, you're an Amiga of the team.....

As someone local to DC, I say: Leave it to Snyder to pick a team name hat can't be less than three syllables. "Chant that, peasants!"

I was weirdly endeared to WASHINGTON FOOTBALL TEAM. It looked like Borat gave them their name

There is basically nothing endearing about the franchise. I stopped paying attention to the NFL a little more than ten years ago, because I thought how the league was treating retired players was shameful and probably evil; the revelations about brain injuries and other more-recent news have done little to change my opinion on that. I still see enough about the local team in the local news to know they manage to combine corporate evil and sexism and racism in the front office with perpetually-bad sport decisions.

EDIT: Here's a piece that says it better than I could: https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2022/02/02/military-washington-commanders/

It was pretty endearing how outclassed they were by Tom Landry's Cowboys in the 60s - 80s. He was 32-24-2 against them including two three-year long regular season winning streaks in 1968-1970 and 1980-1982.
