Hail to the Team
Team on the Warpath
Fight for Old DC
The Washington Lobbyists.
Should have just gone with “WTF”.
Stupid is as stupid does.
GO REDSKINS!
WFT , darn why not WTF
Pandering Surrender-Monkeys
How generic of them

“Yankees” is only a nickname.

Real life is turning into Rollerball with each new day...
Like good Fake News journalists, the folks at ESPN don’t even use the name “Redskins” in any sentence of that article.
What a perfect representation of the team they live in... No name, too bogged down in politics. Just a continuing resolution.

F en Gay
WTF....Where’s The Fans?
How original! NOT! So rather than say here come the Redskins, now people will say, “Here come the Footballs!”
These days, I find the term “Football” offensive. Can we shut that down?
