They can call themselves the Oklahoma. Problem solved.

They’ve been known as the Deadskins by their fans for many years now. Maybe that should be made official.

“The Washington Federals”

How about the Washington Generals, maybe the perennial punching bags for the Harlem Globetrotters will give the name up to the perennial NFL punching bag?

Just name them the Washington Redtails and save a lot of hassles. Why? Because:

1. It honors the Tuskegee Airmen and the 322 Fighter Group, perhaps the most successful air combat group of the USAAF in World War II.
2. It honors blacks who truly did their service for the country.
3. It's something that even the US military is proud of.

In the Fed Ex and Nike corporate world American Indians are not smart, or warriors or brave so NFL teams must be renamed to reflect the corporate thought. Some possible names they may like might be “globalist gazillinairs”, “pink pussies”, “the kneeler”, “anti-American travelers”, etc.

“Saving a lot of hassles” is what got us to this point. While people were avoiding “hassles,” the left has destroyed the common culture and ideals that we all shared as Americans. But sure, capitulate. You might want to buy some kneepads, as that will certainly take less effort than standing up for what is right...

Some ideas from longtime DC sports fan... Washington Red Tails (for Tuskegee Airmen), Red Hogs (honoring legendary Hogs of 1980s), or Commanders (could put faces of presidents on helmets). Monuments or Warriors ok too. Anything but Redskins. It’s time for a change.

“Washington Wussies.”

That would work for me but I had an alternate spelling in honor of the Washington Post.
