| 0:03.4 | Nobody likes the commander's name. |
| 0:05.0 | Washington Post came out with the poll yesterday, |
| 0:08.7 | and the biggest takeaway is nobody likes the commander's name, but nobody really has a great alternative right now |
| 0:17.8 | There's no alternative other than Redskins though the yeah, though there wasn't a majority but the most popular name of these. |
