The Twitter name ‘Washington Redskins’ posted a Direct Message (DM) that they received from the Washington Commanders saying the NFL team wanted them to change their Twitter name “so it doesn’t appear solely as ‘Washington Redskins’ “
In the DM, the Commanders are asking the fan to add ‘unofficial’ or ‘fan’ in order to avoid fans thinking the account is an official account of The Commanders.
The Commanders also said in a DM that they love the fan’s enthusiasm for the team’s history and all the throwback highlights they post on Twitter.
