The NFL’s Washington franchise announced on Monday that it is officially retiring the “Redskins” part of its name. What will they go by now? We have no idea. It’s a weird move to announce a name change without a new name, and a theory is emerging that would explain why the club decided to do it that way. According to several Washington Post reporters, the preferred pick for the team’s new name is already trademarked by someone else, and the two parties are now fighting over it.

No wonder Stand Watie and the Cherokee, Muskogee and Seminole were the last Confederates to cease hostilities!

Move the Redskins to Alabama and we'll honor the name!

Some college promotion guy tried to invent a statistic called “the Pancake.” I suppose it was an incident of a player flattening another player.

As a former Redskins fan through the long lean years and the Joe Gibbs era up until Dan Snyder, I suggest dropping the Washington name as well.

DC Kangz (as in “We wuz Kangz!”) or just do away with any reference to Washington or the District of Columbia, that white woman atop the Capitol dome.

“The Wakanda Kangz”.

Additionally the Redskins fight song, “Hail to the Redskins” needs to be dropped as the devoted fans formerly and famously known as The Hoggettes, a new group, “The Kangz Gang” could be formed.

OTH, the LBGT confusion may force a pass on Hoggettes as they were a very vocal burly cross-dressing dressing group....depends on the hierarchy of the wretched downtrodden.

Has Federal Fools been mentioned?
