"Really? Code Talkers?
Washington Code Talkers?"

Ah, come on, you got to love the Navajos.
But seriously, this is football, not tennis or chess.
The team needs a real warrior name, like our Apache or Black Hawk helicopters.

I could suggest many, but here are just two:

  1. Little Turtles -- in honor of the leader of the Miami Indians at the Battle of Wabash River in 1791, "the most decisive defeat in the history of the American military" -- a US defeat only rivaled by:

  2. Sitting Bulls -- in honor of the inspirational leader of the Lakotas at the Battle of Little Big Horn, Custer's Last Stand.

Now those are real warrior names, not just "Code Talkers".
Those names should strike fear in the hearts of anyone who's ever read a smidgen of American History -- which of course, most haven't, but maybe they'll wonder a bit, and look a little further... ?

“the most decisive defeat in the history of the American military”

Hard to think that it could surmount Custer’s last stand, where only a horse survived.

Sitting Bulls

Interesting name because bulls don't sit.

The complete absurdity of even contemplating changing names in order to placate people who are implacable is a sure sign of mental illness. The team can knuckle under to political correctness but they’ll do so without my participation.

Wait - maybe that’s it - The Washington Knuckle Draggers!

Squatting dog is a Indian name, call them that.
