RAM? Perfectly cromulent, and hints at great intellectual capacity of players:

I think the NFL would much rather have a succession of stories about thuggery from NFL players and ‘insensitive’ NFL team names than stories about the glaring lack of HGH testing and the risk of incuring brain injury when playing the game of football up to a career in bigs.

Pretty much every NFL mascot is detestable to metrosexuals and femiNazis.

Why aren’t liberals demanding that the San Francisco Forty-Niners change their name? After all, the Forty-Niners—gold seekers who poured into California beginning in 1849—ran the Indians and the Spanish-speaking Californios off their land, ravaged the forests and the grasslands and polluted the rivers.

The Dolphins some way insults animals and shows human dominance over them. It would probably offend PETA or the Animal Liberation wackos.

Personally I think the Redskins should be named the Red Necks, and the Florida State Seminoles should be renamed the Florida State Crackers. I’ve a feeling the perpetually outraged will be even more outraged by the promotion of white “racist” nicknames....

Someone on an earlier thread suggested they be renamed the Foreskins. He gave a reason, too.
