The owners of the Washington Redskins, NFL and Senator Elizabeth (Herring) Warren have come to a compromise in renaming the team. The new team name, effective this fall, will be: Washington Red Herrings.
Senator Warren, a princess in the Red Herring tribe of Massachusetts, suggested the Red Herring name instead of the racist Redskins moniker. Senator Warren stated that the Red Herring tribe had a proud heritage going all the way back to the original settlement of the country. Chief Herring Bone and his band were present and participated in the first Thanksgiving festivities. The tribe invented salted pumpkin seeds which saved colonists from starving during the harsh winters that followed.
Senator Warren, a direct descendant of Chief Herring Bone, convinced the Red Herring tribe that if they didn't allow their name to be used (with royalties, licensing fees, spin-offs, bobbleheads, chia pets, etc.), John Edwards who is representing the Amderican Bar Association and Trial Lawyers was ready to present the NFL and owners with alternatives.
The Washington Red Herrings, which symbolizes the true Washington spirit, is a much better name than The Washington Ambulance Chasers or The Washington Scumbag Lawyers, although the latter may be more representative of Washington reality.
Washington Thin Skins.
I’m in favor of the Washington Redskins changing their name....perhaps the Winnipeg Redskins or the Tulsa Redskins.
And while we are at it, if redskins is out, so is the use of the term “Black Americans”. As an artist, I find it offensive to link the color black with the word American.
Fair is fair.
Washington Death Panel
Washington Red Herpes Sores and each named after a democRAT!

Glad I took home my 32oz plastic cup a few years ago from FedEx field in the game vs the Vikings. Wonder if that’ll eventually be worth some $$$? Or will it eventually get me behind bars?
I think Washington Soulless Vampires would be perfect.
The Washington Tolerance.
180 years ago there was an attempt to destroy any proof of American Indians in the USA. Their earthworks were torn down, their pyramids demolished and the tribes banished to the back reaches of the US.
Today that work is still taking place by removing any reminder that there were any Indians here by removing all reminder of them to the backwaters of the sports industry.
The American Indian is becoming a non-person in the USA.
very funny.
With the present occupant in the WH, Washington Butt Pirates would be appropriate.
Our favorite Indian name here in Crow country is “White Man Runs Him”.
Why doesn’t sone honky buy the team and call it the “Whiteskins”?
I might also like:
Washington Thin Skins
Washington Red Tapes
Washigton Red Inks
Washington Whiners
Washington Victims
Washington Offended
They would fit quite well with this whole ridiculous situation.
The Washington Foreskins?
I like Washington Redinks.
It perfectly describes a DC team.
