Good solution!

[Hillary'sMoralVoid]

Drop the offensive word "Washington" from the name.

What is the dilemma? Who is against the name, exactly? .00003% of the population? I would bet that there are probably more people offended by the name, “American Beaver”!

[Lizavetta]

Call them the Washington Foreskins and put a politician’s face on every uniform.

[Carriage Hill]

Don’t/can’t they grow red potatoes in DC gardens? Heh...

[COUNTrecount]

Just move a few letters of the name around

[stanne]

With apologies for what a mess we’ve made or allowed, tl George?

I think you’ll find that most of the “offended” are “offended on behalf of”s.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Ping!

I'm in bliss. Red Bliss!

Mashed with garlic and bacon bits!

[MosesKnows]

Good solution!

This is only slightly better than my suggested solution after Obama inserted himself into the issue.

I thought the "Washington Red Lines" might be acceptable to Obama.

[HangnJudge]

This issue is confused

Nobody offends me, I take offence
Nobody makes me mad, I cause my own anger
Nobody frightens me, I cause my own fear

These emotions are self inflicted wounds
If someone is “offended”
they are speaking volumes about themselves

One MUST take command of their own emotions
One MUST take command of their own thoughts
Adults do this.

Or they remain emotional infants,
pooping in their own diapers

If the Redskins need a new name, why not the Oklahoma City Redskins? Or the Boise Redskins?

[IYAS9YAS]

Drop the first “s” from yours...

[stockpirate]

I posted it here 2-3 months ago, so they must be lurkers.

[rawhide]

How about the ‘DC Dicks’?

[central_va]

Drop Washington and use Federal. Drop Redskins and use deficits. The Federal Deficits. I like it.

[Pearls Before Swine]

My suggestion is to rename them the “Washington Reagans”, or “Rayguns”. Either one would make PC heads explode.

[dfwgator]

Just take away the last four letters and you have the perfect name, “Reds”.
