Woke Wussies

Washington Wastrels
DC Dingbats
or just
Washington Reds (that would cover budget records, anger management issues, political philosophy of some pols, random affiliations with China and even save the red paint left over from former name)
Any name makes no difference. That team will still suck.

The label "Panderers" can be pasted-on just about everyone in Washington not just the football team.....

"Generals" reminds me of 4star General Colin Luther Powell, a man who rose to the highest rank as a result of hard work and a desire to be of service to his country. A man that could and ,perhaps, should be a role model for young people.
In my most humble opinion, the term "General" should not be a problem. Who you, or someone else choose to associate with that term is up to each individual.

Stay safe. Stay well. Pick good role models, kids. Peace!

BTW - Many, many and many good Generals were produce here in the good old USA....
But my favorite higher up military personal was Admiral Zumwalt.... :clap2:

Was Redskins. 90% of Indians are supposedly not opposed to the name but change is coming. Can we keep Red...
How about the Washington Swamp things or the Pigskins! Lets see maybe the Invertebrates for having no spine.

One of my favorites also. But the term"General" was the name/title in question, although it is possible that any service title could be targeted.

Stay safe. Stay well. Respect for all who serve(ed) abroad or at home. Peace!

A University of California Berkeley study, released in February 2020, questioned more than 1,000 people who self-identified as Native American.

The results showed that 49% of respondents agreed or strongly agreed that the name was offensive. That number jumped to 67% for those "frequently engaged in tribal cultural practices."
U.C. Berkeley? Are you serious? C'mon, man. They are so far to the left, they make Marx and Lenin look like capitalists.
Hail to the Redskins, that was a fight song. No more. Hail to the Thin Skins!!!!

Which brings me back to the “Washington Dingbats”. Best suggestion so far.
