The Washington Football Team is no more. On Wednesday morning, Washington officially revealed its new name to be the Commanders.
The reactions are mixed, with many initially not liking the new name. Team co-owner Dan Snyder spoke to the media after Washington’s name reveal.
“Welcome to the not-best-kept secret in D.C,” Snyder said. Good morning; thank you so much for joining us today. Today is a big day for our team, our fans. A day in which we embark on a new chapter as the Washington Commanders.”
