Twitter reacts to Washington’s new name

In case you haven’t heard, the Washington Football Team is now the Washington Commanders.

The name was expected with various leaks and Washington franchise legend Joe Theismann talking about the name on a Monday radio show. Theismann later backtracked. Then, on Tuesday night, an NBC helicopter spotted a Commanders’ logo at FedEx Field.

Owners Dan and Tanya Snyder spoke at Washington’s media event Wednesday morning, with Dan Snyder even joking about it being the worst-kept secret in Washington.

So how did the fans react to the reveal? As you might expect, most hate it, but everyone hates everything on social media.

We take to Twitter to reveal reactions from fans and media.
