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.

Gotta think about the cost of changing the R on the logo. So it makes sense to change the name to something that starts with an R and which expresses a politically correct idea or association. Therefore, I suggest:
Washington Rectums
D. C. COMICS!
The Washington Reptiles?
Who Gives a sh**? All NFL will be featuring BLM flags, donation booths to BLM, kneeling...we need to break ‘em. Don’t spend money on this crap.
LMAO! Gets my vote!
Washington Reds (as in Commies).
The AC/DCs?
(And no it’s not meant as a tribute to the band)
Still calling themselves Washington, though?
Change the name to the District Detonators
.. because this is gonna bomb
“ I was thinking “Washington Bureaucrats” or “Washington Central Planners” sounded good.”
*********
I like Washington Swamp Creatures”. And like Jabba the Hutt as team mascot and helmet logo..
That's next.
How about The DC Pussies?
The C in DC stands for Columbus, so you've just been cancelled.
Sorry about that, old chap.
Washington Wokesters is a nice alliterative name.
The Washington Capitulating A-Holes.
How about TheNotProfitables?
Because every one of their true fans bought their stuff to show support. Now, all of those people are going to be p$$’d off at them.
Ask Nissan how damaging it is to suddenly change your well known brand. (For those who don’t know, they were once called Datsun.)
The Washington Swampers.
Keep the Redskins name, but just change the logo to a potato.
Cave-Ins.

That’s too close to the existing Republican Retreaters team. LOL
For several years before the advent of the Internet rendered paper publications obsolete, I subscribed to the Sporting News. However, even as early as the late 1980s the contributing columnists were espousing social justice issues through the lens of sportswriting. And that was when I was done and let the subscription lapse.
Sport Illustrated had gone that same route a few years earlier.
