Washington Football Team fans are not happy with the new name of the team, which was revealed in a survey by the Washington Post. According to the poll, 54 percent of D.C.-area sports fans have a negative opinion of the new name “Commanders,” with an even higher level of dissatisfaction among fans of the team itself, at 58 percent. A majority of respondents said they would prefer a different name for the team, with 17 percent even suggesting a return to the previous name that was considered derogatory.
Despite this backlash, Marjorie Harris, wife of majority owner Josh Harris, stated that “Commanders” will remain as the team’s name for now. However, given the strong opposition to it and considering that supporters of the previous name continue to advocate for its reinstatement if there is another change in the future.
The debate surrounding Washington Football Team’s branding decisions continues as many fans still prefer their previous name over the new one. This adds to their frustration and raises questions about whether this decision was necessary in the first place.
