Washington Redskins

[rusty]

They are now "The Washington Football Team". No worse than the soccer team in Kansas City "Sporting KC".

 

[Cnsper]

What is more offensive, calling themselves the Redskins or a football team?

 

[hiwall]

The word "Washington" is pretty racist. They should be called "The Northwest Football Team".
Why does anyone support all the un-American ball teams?

 

[phideaux]

Well,

I'm offended.

I didn't have a say in it.
And, they didn't ask me.
And they didn't name it after my dog , or me.

Shouldn't that be the Mid-Atlantic Foot ball team? To be honest I have found that I get more work done without professional sports. Then again based on their typical performance they could be called the Washington Mutts.....

Since they are losers "Congressionals".

 

[Duncan]

Before I moved to the United States, I lived in the DC area for 17 years. Our baseball team (now called the "Nationals") was the Washington Senators; an apt name, since they were perennial losers. In keeping with the idea of apropos names, I believe we should call the football team the "Lobbyists".

Pandering to the mob. Who cares? I will never watch.

I like Duncan's suggestion for its Deep Truth - but that truth is not a 'fan-maker'.

In consideration of the town's fascination with the concept that they can get away with anything, I think they should go for The Big One:

The DC Lovables

I suggested the change from the Washington Redskins to the Washington Foreskins.

I don't think they liked it.
Too many unsuitable jokes to post here .

Many of us men 'of a certain age' lost our foreskins shortly after birth - apparently as a routine assist in hygiene. Your suggestion might create antagonism.

How about the Washington Geldings?

 

[rusty]

Since it has a tradition of being losers, why not the Washington Democrats?

 

[VThillman]

How about the Washington Geldings?

Um, that is a deprivation more extreme than simple foreskin removal. Perhaps Mr. Meer needs to sleep with one eye open?

I am surprised that have not started attacking the uniforms yet. There is no “diversity” when all the team wears the same color. And red, isn’t that RACIST? It refers to the Red Skins that the ‘native americans’ were referred to by the early white supremacist war mongers who came over and decimated their happy population. I bet it was coined by Christopher Columbus, who is now a hated symbol of all that is unjust and whatever else the trigger words are that they scream as they tear down statues of him.

I agree, since they went after the Atlanta Braves about 30 years for alot less .
