Joe Biden Reacts To Washington Commanders Name With Corny Joke

Joe Bien decided to weigh in on today’s biggest story from the NFL.

The Washington Football Team officially changed its name to the Washington Commanders early this morning. This name change was a long time coming and fans were chomping at the bit to find out the official name. In the end, fans were given a polarizing name that has some people calling the franchise the “commies.”

In the video posted below, the Commanders showed immense confidence in the new name, and whether or not people approve, the name is here to stay.

One legacy. One unified future.

Joe Biden figured it would be a good idea to weigh in on the rebrand. Of course, one of his dogs is named Commander, so the name was near and dear to his heart. As he said on Twitter: “I suppose there’s room for two Commanders in this town.”
