Good point 89. There aren’t a lot of 3 syllable team names and most that do have a natural nickname. Pats, Bucs, Cards, etc

I remember when the Pats were the Patsies
You don't hear that any more
I think Commies will get a lot of use

Wait, did they honestly send three African American men out for the reveal? Pander much?

Is there an alternative?

Agreed, so much that in a few years it will be synonymous with DC football more than for communists.

So far I think it is fair to say that the fans hate the new name.
Actually not all hate it, some just dislike it.
And some others just make fun of it.

That hashtag confused the hell out of me for a while. I thought it was a weird short form of Hater…

I have seen that hash in a lot of places today, facebook type places where Washington football fans are unhappy.
I am a Patriots guy, not a HTTR guy, but the skins were my neighbors for a long time and they are my #2 team. I coached t-ball on their practice field and I have seen Joe Jacoby and Dexter Manley hang out at the golf course many times - 40 years ago. I once ran into Joe Theismann at Hechinger (Lowes before Lowes), I helped him find something, a light bulb or something.
Anyway, I'll give them a HTTR for solidarity, for at least one day.
For you out-of-towners, Hail To The Redskins - that was the fight song.

The best take I’ve heard on it? The guy that covers basketball locally shrugged and said “At least it’s better than Wizards…”
