Change the name of the Washington Redskins

Maybe they could visit here?: George, Washington - Wikipedia

They were originally named the Boston Braves, same as the baseball team whose field they used. There were other early pro football teams who did the same. For their second season, 1933, they moved from Braves Field to Fenway Park, had to change the name, and stuck with the Indian theme.

I spent the night there once when I was hitching cross country in the 1970s.

I just wanted to point out I made this joke on 05-30-2013, well before this Onion article:

I actually like this idea, but I would ditch the logo and replace it with the throw back helmet they wore a couple of years ago that was based on Florida State’s helmet. However, I don’t think this will ever fly because some people would still object to the use of Native American imagery. I suspect that if the team ever does cave in and change the name they would choose the most inoffensive, politically correct name they could come up with.

The name “Warriors” doesn’t necessarily have to relate to Native American culture. The Golden State Warriors don’t use Native American imagery (though they did early in the franchise’s history.)

The Washington Quarters

Washington Smithsonians (“Smiths” for short; Morrissey can be the mascot)

Washington Malls

Washington Vices

The District, um, Districts?

The D.C. Cabs.

Zulu warriors!

As I’ve noted elsewhere, Achilles and Hector were warriors. Leonidas and the Spartans were warriors. Samson and King David were warriors. Conan the Barbarian was a warrior. William Wallace and Charles Martel were warriors. Where is it written that “Warriors” are native Americans?

The way they’re playing lately, maybe they should change it to the Washington Generals.

We’ve already got the London Blitz and of course the London Sillinannies.

I vote for the Washington Scumsuckers.

see post #31 for the best idea.

Well, I certainly think “Shipoopi” is a much better fight song than “Hail to the Redskins.”

Change the name? Sure…The D.C. Redskins!

Twelve years later and Trump wants the Commanders to go back. Because this is the sort of serious issue Presidents must address, especially to allow other business changes. And not because the news is about other things.

I read that he’s hinted at signing an executive order to rename soccer to football which, a) he doesn’t have that authority and b) will piss odd every gridiron football fan to no end.

He’s threatening to hold up a deal for a new stadium if Washington doesn’t go back to the Redskins.

Trump needs to fuck right off.

Oh, wait, that was rude; where are my manners?

President Trump needs to fuck off. Gotta respect the office!
