Washington’s NFL franchise has announced that it is retiring the Redskins name, and plans to introduce a new name soon.
Monday’s announcement comes just days after the organization released a statement July 3 saying it would be undertaking a “thorough review” of the team’s name, a process the team said in Monday’s announcement has “begun in earnest.” In an interview July 4, Coach Ron Rivera — who is working with owner Daniel Snyder to choose a name — said he hoped the new name would be in place by the start of the 2020 NFL season. Others have said it will be revealed as soon as within two weeks.

I was thinking “Washington Bureaucrats” or “Washington Central Planners” sounded good.

I suggest the “Washington Generals”.
If you are a fan of the Harlem Globetrotters, you’ll understand.

Par for the course - they renamed their NBA team the “Wizards” after “Bullets” was just too oppressive - formerly the Baltimore Bullets, BTW.

The NFL is a culture-cleansing disaster area.
Same with the NCAA, Nooscar, and the NBA.
It won’t stop until fans disappear.

Do they really think that will help them? They’re history...
