Washington owner Dan Snyder and new head coach Ron Rivera will "develop a new name and design" approach, the team said Monday. However, Martin McCaulay, an actuary from Alexandria, Virginia, jumped on the speculation of a name change way before the announcement.

McCaulay has filed numerous trademark claims in the last six years for potential monikers for the Washington football team. A search by CBS News in the United States Patent and Trademark Office's database found at least seven names that have been registered in just the last month alone.

How about the DC Non-Binaries.

How about the DC AC-DC’s.

After all, the name Washington has to go because he was a slave owner. Might as well get ahead of it now before the politically correct crybully authorities require another expensive and team spirit killing name change.

Or Booker T and the MG's

Although I am partial to the Washington OrangeMen. That way, they are all people color, and not red.

Nope, because there is simply no end to those pricks.

I suggest the “Washington Looters” to acknowledge the scum that brought this to a head. If that is too direct, “Washington Bargain Shoppers” is an alternative.

It costs $350 to file a trademark application. Sounds like he laid out a few grand on speculation he could sell one of them to the team.

DC stands for District of Columbia, and that means Columbus the evil invader and en-slaver of indigenous peoples. So perhaps the team could be called No-name, or Lord Voldemort’s Grovelers.

But competitive sports always diminish the self-esteem of the losers, so maybe it’s better that they be diminished. The Washington Losers?
