The Washington Redskins plan to announce Monday morning that they will change their team name, three people with knowledge of the situation confirmed Sunday night. The team is not expected to reveal a new name until a later date.

Two people with knowledge of the team’s plans said Sunday that the preferred replacement name is tied up in a trademark fight, which is why the team can’t announce the new name Monday.

They should honor their hero Kaepernick and call themselves the Washington Colons!
Is there a more fitting name for these a**holes?

So, all of the sudden FedEx is pushing this hard? They’ve had the naming rights to the stadium for 21 years. And now it’s a problem? I’d say the Foreskins should sue them for breach of contract.

The Capitol Morons is a highly appropriate name.

Warriors? I assume Golden State owns the trademark. Redskins will be able to keep everything the same except to replace the head of the Native American on the helmet with an arrow.

Retiring the name is a great idea. Maybe they can hang a banner with the name on it. Or add it to The Ring of Honor along with the names and numbers of retired players.

I suggest that the DC team change their name to what we DALLAS COWBOY fans have called them for years: DEADSKINS.

How about;

“The Drunken Injuns.”

“The Filthy Savages.”

I’m pretty sure none of those are trademarked. I watch too many Westerns.

My choice for the new name is always one that should honor prominent DC figures. Former DC Mayor Marion Berry and John Dingell Jr.who holds the record for longest-ever serving member of Congress in American history and died last year. The new name should be;

“The Washington Dingellberrys.”

I guess they’ll still ignore the classic;

“The Washington Foreskins.”
