Washington owner Dan Snyder and new head coach Ron Rivera will "develop a new name and design" approach, the team said Monday. However, Martin McCaulay, an actuary from Alexandria, Virginia, jumped on the speculation of a name change way before the announcement.

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.

That’s a Nazi code word, since the 8th letter in the alphabet is H, so 88 means Heil Hitler. So it’s perfect! Let them throw a hissy fit about that next.

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.
