McCaulay has filed numerous trademark claims in the last six years for potential monikers for the Washington football team.

Let’s keep the tonal quality the same: Washington RINOs. Every time they’re about to win, they hand the ball to the other team.

I have dibs on the trademark “88’ers”, as the team seems incapable of seasons better than 8 and 8.

None of the names suggested are going to be used,As for those copywritten, Washington Americans would not be bad but, of course, too pro-American for the left. Also too hypocrtical for a team that kneels during the national anthem.

I once had an email address with an 88 in it and canceled it after learning this fact. Made me angry as none of the ones I wanted was available and the one with the 88 in it was the suggestion of the host provider.
