BTW Vegas odds on the new nickname (I predict the official change wont be announced until after the 2020 season, its too late to change all the teams marketing now).
Here are the odds for what could be the new name of Washington’s NFL team from betonline.ag (sounds like a credible website . . . .???_)
Presidents +300
Eh, okay. But theres only one President, how do you have 53 on the field?
Generals +400
There’s already Washington Generals, they are 2-1000 v the Harlem Globetrotters.
Lincolns +400
This could quickly become the Stinkin’ Lincolns if they keep playing they have for the past 20 years.
Americans +500
DING DING DING. Place your shekels on this.
Kings +500
Why would Washington support a King? Wasn’t that why the US is here in the first place???
Memorials +500
A team named after dead soldiers. Depressing.
Capitols +600
Yeah, there’s another pro team in the area that might have something to say about this.
Veterans +600
Not bad, except just about all the players on the field are not “military veterans”. That said, HC Rob Rivera did say that in his opinion any name change should honor our troops. “Troops”, “Armed Forces”, “Defenders”, “Infantry”, “Force” etc are all darkhorse candidates.
Jeffersons +700
Slave owner. Worst bet on the board.
Roosevelts +700
Why???
Monuments +800
“Hey Joe I got two tickets to the Monuments game! Wanna go?”
“Sorry Bill not into golf.”
Arlingtons +1000
Unlikely the teams new stadium will be in Arlington, nor does anyone want to get excited about a team named after a cemetery. Nice sentiment, but sorry, no.
