The search for the new Washington Football Team name continues, but president Jason Wright has already ruled out some fan-endorsed selections.
In his “weekly brief” announcement on the official team website Monday, Wright discussed how the team would not consider the fan-favorite “Warriors” suggestion as the new team name and logo, which will not have “linkage to Native American imagery.”
“One might look at this name as a natural, and even harmless transition considering that it does not necessarily or specifically carry a negative connotation,” Wright wrote. “But as we learned through our research and engagement with various groups, ‘context matters’ and that makes it a ‘slippery slope.’ Feedback from across communities we engaged clearly revealed deep-seated discomfort around Warriors, with the clear acknowledgment that it too closely aligns with Native American themes.

I know! I know!
“The Washington Wokes!”
What about The Washington Riffs......Can you dig it?
Of course the way they’ve played the last decade or so, maybe The Washington Orphans would be more appropriate.
I vote for “The Grifters”
The obvious choice is “Trannys”. It’ll be a decade or two before that’s deemed offensive.
the Washington Criminals
They should try and insult all us white folks and call themselves the Washington White Folks.
Sell-outs.
Or The Washington Football Furies.
My choice (endorsed by 72,000,000+ Americans):
Swamp Rats
The Washington Lobbyists
“The HowardZinn Revisionists”
Besides, the fans chose the name and the NFL says....http://www.lerctr.org/~transit/healy/benoit.wav
If people/groups were smart, any time they released a possible name for the team they were immediately go out and criticize it for some various reason until they drop it and try a new one. If they want to be so walk, let them keep trying to pick names for the next 10 years for all I care.
How about the Potomac Pink Pussies? I mean Pussycats.
I always liked the Washington Foreskins.🙂
I remember that weird movie. It wasn’t like they could just slip off their colors to get home.
I kept thinking “what these guys need is a good demolitions man on their team”.
Washington Wokebots?
Always been *my* favorite.
Fudge Packers, Pickle Lickers, Salad Tossers, Wankers, Big Mouths, Deep Throats or Power Bottoms?
Washington Weenies sounds pretty good.
