Washington NFL team to use 'Washington Football Team' for 2020 season
ESPN ^ | July 23, 2020 | Adam Schefter

Posted on 07/23/2020 10:55:09 AM PDT by EdnaMode

Effective immediately, Washington will call itself the "Washington Football Team" pending the adoption of a new name, the franchise announced.

This is not a final renaming and rebranding for the team; this is the name it wants to use until the adoption of a new name at some point.

The team will continue the process of retiring the former name and hopes to be entirely rid of it on physical and digital spaces in the next 50 days, by the Sept. 13 regular-season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles.

F’ all Pro Sports...

MLB will have BLM on the pitcher mounds opening week. SO MLB is now a communist / antifa-support group.

MLB may as well change over to “T” Ball and hand out participation trophy’s.

They can sell merchandise similar to this shirt: How about the Washington Generics as a team name?

I’m QUITE certain they trademarked the name. The point is taht they’re still legally the New York Baseball Club.

I’ve been advocating the Washington Blackskins, but now I’m leaning toward the Washington BLM Bullshit*rs.

but Washington was a slaveowner from the age of 11, and there were 317 slaves at Mount Vernon in 1799

(yes, he said he did not like slavery and he released his share in his will)

it appears that the team “respects Redskins” more than the feelings of blacks? or when will all this sudden idiocy end, anyway?

Nah. This is about forcing a sale to a black owner who will hire a black GM, black coaching staff, etc. It's a wet dream BLM types have been floating out there for some time.

Of course if they don't win the rest of the league will be racist.

For now.
If it even mattered.

When a team is so terrified that it cannot even have a name without some exhaustive future panel and committee selection process (and such name is bound to offend someone), that team should just preemptively accept defeat and forfeit all games to whomever shows up.

These days, I find the term “Football” offensive. Can we shut that down?

Well, of course.

‘Ball’ implies male reproductive organs.

But these days, women and non-politicians have more balls than males.

Maybe. All I know is the Pirates found themselves in a major legal battle with this schmuck bar owner because they did not do something properly.

Another example is the old Canadian Football League franchise that played in Baltimore for a few years. They were going to call themselves the Colts. A couple of days before opening kickoff the NFL managed to get an injunction against that. They were called the Baltimore CFL’s for their first year and eventually became the Stallions.
