Internet Reacts to Washington’s Two Potential Nicknames

As the NFL season rapidly approaches the end of the regular season, Washington Football Team is still without a nickname. Now there’s reports that Washington’s owner Daniel Snyder has whittled things down to two possible nicknames. Snyder likes “Washington Football Team” and could keep the name as currently is. The other name the team could use is “Washington Football Club.”

The internet responded:

Not a fan of either name. It looks so dumb having Panthers vs Football Team. We aren’t a soccer club. Yes, I have a WFT hat, but I’m still hoping for an actual nickname.

The name use to matter to me but I just wanna win some damn football games.

I love Washington FC or FC Washington or @whoisjwright . Closest thing we can relate to Redskins.

Maybe he should sell the team and let someone else decide

He is Daniel Snyder. Which ever he chooses . . . will be wrong. 🙄

Surely they can come up with a universally loved nickname, no?

Football club is a little bit unusual considering a professional NFL team is not a club, and it’s not soccer,  it’s american football.

One of the tweets summed it up perfectly, whatever Daniel Snyder chooses will be the wrong choice.
