Washington Football Team
 
Lets have some fun and suggest new name for Washington's football team:

Was Redskins. 90% of Indians are supposedly not opposed to the name but change is coming. Can we keep Red...

Washington Redskins former name, native americans polled | wusa9.com


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."

If we’re being sucked in by this madness then “Washington” must go too.

Klatu 07-14-2020 06:47 AM

New name: abundance of options...

Woke Wussies
Budget Busters
Beltway Bandits
Pork Pirates
Capitol Donothings
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)

Redskins
 
All they had to do was change the mascot to a potato, no name change required!

rjn5656 07-14-2020 06:54 AM

Washington
 
How about The Washington Swamp.

davem4616 07-14-2020 07:25 AM

hmmm, wondering if The Patriots will end up changing their name

some 'looney tune' with nothing else to do will eventually come forward stating that there is evidence that there were patriots that owned slaves and were harsh on their indentured servants...and the poor cupcake finds the word Patriots offensive.
Kraft won't fold like a deck of cards, but once he sees the increased apparel sales that "the team formerly known as the Redskins" are ringing up for gear with their new logo on it, he'll see the wisdom of appeasing the 'woke fans'

then the 49'er's will have to change their team name....hello they rode into land specifically designated as belonging to the Native Americans, killed many of them and stole all the gold that they could find

Cleveland Browns....now that's a team name that's certainly living on the edge

Tampa Bay Buccaneers ...well we all know that pirates enslaved people....that one's gonna end up in the trash heap

then there's the Kansas City Chiefs ...they can't hide much longer, might just as well start rebranding now

The owners will be pleased...look at all the new apparel they'll sell with the new team logo on them

Now that is funny.

The George Washingtons!
 
Now this might work. Flip it around. The George Washingtons rather than the Washington....

UC Berkeley and "self identified"...................more BS!

Redskins
 
I suggest they change to The Washington Generals. This was the name of the house team that played against the Harlem Globetrotters. The Generals never won a game. It fits.

Mickedamouse24 07-14-2020 01:22 PM

DC Football Team or Maryland Football Team!!
 
:blahblahblah:The name Washington will have to be removed as well as soon as they realize G. Washington was a slave owner! Gonna be a goner! I suggest all names should be changed to numbers,,,!!! Identify with the date they came into being or built.!! Buildings/house be numbers..... Streets letters!!! :ohdear:

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:

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!

Chloe Girl 07-15-2020 05:24 AM

I love changing the Washington Red Skin's mascot to a potato and leaving the name alone!!!

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.

The Hodgetwins - Redskins Owner Caves To Leftist Mob Decides To Change Team Name! | Facebook

Bikeracer2009 07-15-2020 06:51 AM

Change all sports team names to the sport being played.

Washington Football Team
California Football Team, etc.

If you have more than one team in a state then that team's name defaults to the their city. Miami Football Team etc.

Changing some of the rules. No more kickoffs to start the games. The team that makes less money gets the ball until they make the same amount of money.

Each team can makeup their own rules that only apply to the other team.

Get rid of the referees because they cause the penalties. Send in a councilor if someone feels a rule was broken.

The score is always even in the end and everyone gets a trophy.

This one is funny .... never thought about the "Chiefs" before and didn't consider the profits in rebranding. Complicated subject

Turns out that the abolitionist, Alexander Hamilton, had a sister in Georgia who died with a manservant. The manservant packed all her stuff and came up to Boston whereby Hamilton "freed" him and funded him to open a cobbler shop where the man prospered and lived. However, technically, Hamilton owned a "slave" for the ten days it took the man to travel up to Boston (as he had inherited his sister's property). I heard a called on local radio call for Hamilton to come off the ten? Hmmmm.

Eli Yale of Yale University (slave trader)? Washington, Jefferson, the list is long.
