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.

The C in DC stands for Columbus, so you’ve just been cancelled.

No, it stands for corruption as in the District of Corruption. :)

So if Redskins is out, what should replace it? What ever does, it can’t offend anyone or anything so it is going to be tough. Good luck with that!

Still calling themselves Washington, though?

Good point. They will have to go through this all over again if they stick with Washington in their name.

Could this get any more ridiculous?

Washington Reptiles would work though. It is descriptive of the town as well as being a lot of fun for the fans. I could see the T-Rex becoming an unofficial mascot, with all this people who have the costumes suddenly having a weekly use for them.
