My wife doesn’t care about the NFL, but she laughed at the name Commanders, because in the popular series “Handmaiden’s Tale,” the villanous, sex-abusing elders of the community were called the Commanders.
Some folks I know refer to the Washington DC football team as the “Comanches” ...
Yeah, also: in the U.S., a “commander” isn’t a big shot. It’s Russia where “commander” means a high-ranking general.
