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.

More like the Lizzies, man: they don’t come out and play plus they play for the other team. ;)
Why doesn’t Snyder just ask all of the indigenous tribes to come up with several names that are accepted by all national tribes and pick a name from whatever they come up with?
Doesn’t seem all that difficult.
Washington Limp Wristed Purse Swingers.
Washington Deep State or DS to keep it mysterious.
I’d do that.
Potomac?
The Washington Lobbyists, or the Washington Swamp Rats works for me.
Washington Woosies?
Washington Foreskins?
Cornerland
Football Team is the greatest name in sports and a great punchback at the politically correct culture. I would never change it.
Well, apparently they are afraid of appropriating anyone’s culture so that is not white, So, why don’t they call the club the Wahington White Dudes.
If the name is a fan favorite, just give it a non-Native American logo and mascot (just sort of a generic warrior guy) and everyone is happy.
That could offend gays.
Animal rights folks said they should keep the name Redskins but use a pile of redskin potatoes as their symbol and mascot.
I think they should be called the Washington Tapeworms, since that perfectly describes DC and the people who live there.
The Washington Nothings sounds good to me.
The Washington Parasites.
Or they could try the shorthand version of Football Union Washington.
How about Washington Engines? (aka Injuns)
Or Washington Deeps (state)
Or Washington Red Zoners
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. They don’t give a damn about what fans think...that has been obvious for years.
I hope the NFL goes financially bankrupt. To match its morality.
