      Really? I don’t even understand it. Does anyone besides me think this is just odd? Is there anything comparable? The New Jersey Generals is the only thing I can reference. Well, whatever.

      Does it have anything to do with George Washington? If so then I think that is pretty cool.

      They had the perfect name just sitting there, staring them in the face – The Washington Pig Skins. Plays off of their “hogs” theme, keep the nickname of the ‘Skins. 

      Commanders sounds like a fake team you’d see in a football movie like Any Given Sunday.

        Always thought the Washington Foreskins would have really captured the essence of DC and the politicians there.

      Isn’t that name subject to over-sensitive analyisis too? I mean, weren’t native americans killed by the cavalry and their commanders?

      Meh, not the worst.  The name Armada really grew on me.

      The team is named after Biden’s newest dog, Commander.
