OT: Washington officially "football team formerly known as the Redskins"

[Nehalem]

The Washington NFL franchise, formerly known as the Washington Redskins, is officially going to change its name to the Washington Football Team.

Washington's football team to call itself Washington Football Team until it settles on a new name - CNN

Called it

They should just change their name to a symbol. And then we can refer to them as the "Football team formerly known as the Redskins".

They should commission someone to write a song called "Red Rain". On second thought that wouldn't be a terrible team name.

This is going to be an Abbot and Costello routine.

Person 1: The Team really looked good yesterday.

Person 2: Which Team?

They should use DC instead of Washington.

What an original name.

They got finessed by some guy who bought up a ton of naming rights. They look real weak rn imo. You really can't or haven't come up with a name after 30 years of people bringing it up?

Meanwhile Seattle is getting into the details ...

I always liked the Capital Bullets as a team name.

Of course, like everything else I like, both are gone.

I nominate them to be called the Washington "Human Beings". Anybody who watched the show "Community" understands the joke. The school didn't want to offend anyone so they went the safe route. Here's their mascot.

1. He's doing this to sell as much Redskin stuff as he can during the year.

2. He's doing this as a passive aggressive statement, expressing his resentment at the world, like a 2 year old who doesn't want to go to bed.
