How about the Washington Crackers or Washington Coons? Redskins is just as offensive to some as these names would be.


Seattle's new hockey team took care of that just fine... The Seattle Krakens... LMAO !!!

Warriors. What is so hard about that?

Trademarks.

That actually makes it hard. Well, not so much "hard" but more complicated.

Basically any name you can think of has already been trademarked by squatters in hopes that the team will pay for the trademark once they inevitably had to change the name.

Now that the time has come where they finally decided to change it, having to find a name that isn't trademarked or negotiate for one that is has slowed things down to where it won't be ready in the 2 months time for the new season.

Even if things went smoothly, changing things in that quick a timeframe was always shaky. There was always a high chance they could announce a new name but still be just "Washington" for this specific year because there wasn't enough time to design new logos and do all the necessary legal work. So they'd be Washington this year and the new name the following year

I don't get some people with their methodologies to naming their kid.

It's only a matter of time before an avid couch potato names their kid "Arm Chair" or "Lazy Boy"

Big difference between pets and kids. My daughter has a normal, centuries-old Scottish name after her great grandmother. Our cat, though, was a furry ball of white as a kitten and ended up as Snowflake.

That makes sense. However, people are starting to name their kids like pets.

Washington rushing in to virtue signal without securing a replacement name is so 2020.

Can't even name a fucking team now.

"Killer Bees" - too masculine
"Cowboys" - too feminine

Shame really. I understand why they are doing it, a sign of the times, just like so much other poppy cock and fiddle faddle. Guess each week we can expect another name, statue, etc. to be written off. Changed by some butt hurt snowflakes. Fuck ‘em. I’ve lived too long. (don’t take that as a threat) I hope they keep the colors, just about the best in the NFL. But will probably remind some of Redskins.
