Native American Group Calls Out Commanders for New Alternate Logo: “We Are Not Your Mascot”
The Washington Commanders face backlash from Native American communities over their new alternate logo, which features a spear intertwined with the letter “W.” The American Indian Affairs Commission criticized the logo as inappropriate, emphasizing the need to stop objectifying Native Peoples. The Commanders, who have undergone two name changes since their former controversial name, believe the logo connects their franchise’s legacy. Activist Suzan Harjo highlighted the public’s lingering nostalgia for the previous name, which she deemed offensive. It remains unclear whether the team will respond to criticism or retain the logo as planned.
