Well, seeing that the Washington NFL team is really “Virginia’s” team, how about we change the name from the Washington Redskins to the Washington Blackfaces?
Just use all the team names from Baseketball.
Dallas Felons
Detroit Lemons
Los Angeles Riots
Miami Dealers
Milwaukee Beers
New Jersey Informants
Roswell Aliens
San Antonio Defenders
San Francisco Ferries
The Rams are sexist. One day, there may be a female kicker, punter, or even defensive tackle! Heck, it happened in “The World According to Garp”! But such a player should not have t be a Ram, but a Ewe. So, we would have to go with the Los Angeles Sheep.
The 49ers and Steelers celebrate the desecration of Mother Earth for gold and steel. Ugh!
I wouldn’t want to be associated with the name of that football team either. I’d be embarassed to root for any sports program with “Washington” in the team name.
A letter to the Chicago Tribune, and not one word about the Blackhawks.
The Washington football team should change their name to "The Oklahoma".
Actually, the NFL and NBA teams should drop all team names and just go by the city name they are based in. Leave the mascot names to the free minor league system they have in place, which is commonly called the NCAA.
The Chargers aren’t in San Diego anymore. They moved back to LA.
Well, there are the Los Angeles Kings, Kansas City Royals, and Sacramento Kings which seem to glorify absolute rule by monarchs. The Toronto Maple Leafs, Winnipeg Jets, and Florida Panthers likely involve environmental connotations with trees, climate change caused by fuel usage, and animal species endangerment respectively.
I suggest that Americans no longer have the time to waste on such circuses, and that the next great sporting event is going to be the Patriots vs. the Bolsheviks - coming soon to a city street near you.
Denotes gang colors and potential gang turf wars.
Indiana?
Washinton Weathervanes with appropriate visuals.
Miami Heat promotes global warming.
Phoenix Suns... see above.
St. Louis Blues stole the music of black -— oops — Black America in a sport dominated by whites (lower case).
Columbus Blue Jackets — Dear God, Columbus! Do I need to say more. And Blue Jackets is a Civil War term and we know blacks — oops — Blacks don’t appreciate any references to the Civil War (see: Lincoln, the Oregon-OSU football terms, etc.).
Colorado Avalanche. Avalance is snow and snow is white.
Sacramento and Los Angeles Kings. When was the last time we had a female king? Sexist.
Philadelphia 76ers. 1776? Oh my!
The NY/NJ Jets promote global warming.
New York Yankees should offend EVERYONE.
Signed,
The Boston Red Sox.
Rename all “offensive” named teams to flowers - peonies, roses, petunias, daffodils - and vegetables - squash, cukes, potatoes, leeks. Might even try inanimate objects - stones, rocks, pebbles or prehistoric creatures- diplodocus, triceratops, brontosaurus, but not Tyrannosaurus.
Washington Red’s Kins
At least the Dallas Cowboys haven’t been mentioned, yet.
