I don't get the negativity. I never had a problem with the Washington Nationals, I have no problem with the Washington Commanders.
I actually think Commanders is a good mascot name and I think the color scheme fits, the only negative being it reminds me of the Trojans.
I'm glad they changed their name. I can see how a three syllable name doesn't roll off as smoothly, but the Cardinal is three syllables (of four, if you count "the") and yet all those syllables didn't seem to hamper the women's basketball team last spring, or the Cardinal's many other championship teams.
I don't associate any frustrations I have with government with the area's sports teams. I know a lot of people who live and work in DC (not directly in government), and the people I know there are nice people.
