NFL World Reacts To Washington Name Change Leak

This is some major news before the scheduled announcement and has the entire NFL world talking.

NFL World Reacts To New Washington Name

It should be pointed out that the organization has not announced Commanders as the name.

But Theismann seemed pretty sure about it and that has the NFL world reacting to the spoiler.

There seems to be a growing sentiment that sticking with Football Team would not be the worst option.

Yet that was always a placeholder, even if it started to catch on.

The franchise wants to have a name they can market and a cool new logo they can put on clothing and hats.

There is always going to be backlash when a team changes its name.

Washington just has the unfortunate luck of doing this for a second time in the span of a few years.

A more proactive approach the first time around would have avoided this situation entirely.

Fans are just going to have to accept whatever the name is, whether it is Commanders or something else.

The team winning games and getting into the postseason on a regular basis should wipe away any lingering complaints after the inaugural season with yet another new name.

Wednesday is the day the new name becomes official.

But if Theismann is right, the fanfare of a surprise is already gone.

Perhaps that was done on purpose so the outrage can get out of the way now.
