"Commanders" is too many syllables. Every other team is only 1-2 syllables, with the exception of the Patriots and Buccaneers - which are usually shortened to "pats" and "buccs".
Shortening commanders sounds a little.. uh..
Is this why only smart people like the Fortyniners?

Yes, pretty silly name as you can have a commander/leader of a team but never a team consisting of commanders.

And when the WFT disappoints their fans, they will be called the "commode-rs". You heard it here first. 😁

Weak and generic.... relatively inoffensive though which I think was the main objective.

Don't worry... I'm sure that someone will somehow turn "Commanders" into a racial slur at some point so they'll need to change the name again.

Given the sex scandal, exactly what they want. Football Team was a great way to call off the media dogs. Outsiders just end their attention at that former name and don't really go much further into the scum, and the media didn't blast the stories ad nasueum like with Harvey Weinstein.

Not really taboo these days amongst the populace with a hair trigger desire for activism. While Stalin himself may be condemned, communism remains alive by the excusing numerous dictators as one bad apple who didn't implement it right.

Now personally, I can relate with minorities who got out of Commie nations and have heard inside information on how at least one of the common folk had to live under such rule. No real courts, no public humiliation of the state(detention or execution if you dare), nosy and threatening even in the days of analogue. Li Yundi, a pianist who wasn't even really against the regime and likely for it, even got arrested under the charges of soliciting a prostitute. Whatever the reality is, the official one cannot be taken at face value.

Your team still surrendered to the FOOTBALL TEAM in a prone position with that surrender formation sneak. Now we're your Commanders. SO OBEY. :p

(Oh, and be afraid if Daboll resuscitates Daniel Jones to some level of promise, I will be wallowing your tears if D. Jones ever gets a long extension under the pretense that he was progressing like Josh Allen at the time)

Dudes got the Super Bowl years wrong and Jason Wright doubled down on local radio station today saying they got it right and basically got a history lesson about the NFL from the radio host lol.

This team is so f'ing stupid.

At this point I think it's intentional that they want to be ridiculous and laughable as possible so no one pays attention to or covers the real scandalous news.

leaving the team name as wtf's would have been better than the new name
