The Washington Commanders will be known as the Washington Commanders next week and next month and next decade. Thank goodness for clarity. Let’s move on to issues that matter.

Despite ongoing criticism, the Washington Commanders are keeping their uninspired name, missing a golden opportunity for a rebrand that could excite fans and honor the city’s rich history.
