Washington’s NFL franchise has announced that it is retiring the Redskins name, and plans to introduce a new name soon.

Monday’s announcement comes just days after the organization released a statement July 3 saying it would be undertaking a “thorough review” of the team’s name, a process the team said in Monday’s announcement has “begun in earnest.” In an interview July 4, Coach Ron Rivera — who is working with owner Daniel Snyder to choose a name — said he hoped the new name would be in place by the start of the 2020 NFL season. Others have said it will be revealed as soon as within two weeks.

I was a turn watcher at the next to last turn at Raceway Park for the SCCA for a day.

When the race started, the Vets blew down the dragstrip and turned off into the curvey part before the Morris Minors were 1/3 the way down the strip.

You could hear the Vets roaring and screcching every where; but by the last turn, the Morris’ would be gnawing at the Vets butt!

I suggest the “Sillynannies” for the new name.

Whatever they go with, they need to stop sullying the name of our First President. Drop “Washington” completely from this.

I am thinking the new name should be the D.C. Dictators.
We can then refer to them as the “Dics” for short. It goes well with the political class in Washington.
