    I guess that would be aspirational for the current football team.

    I was about to suggest that, given how well they’ve played with Snyder as owner.

    Forgot about that one...Hogs and War Hogs are suggestions I've seen. Loved those teams but don't know that I really want a pig as a mascot.

    Yeah, I'd really like for them to stop playing like the Generals.

    After the sexual harassment was brought to light, 'Predators' was suggested.

    The Bullets didn’t change their name because of public pressure. The owner, Abe Pollin, didn’t like the associating with violence and crime. The murder of his friend (the Israeli PM) was a contributing factor too. No one told him it was the right thing to do, he knew it.

    How about an unpronounceable symbol, and we can refer to them as "the team formerly known as the Redskins?"

    It's worked before.

    What if the Dallas Cowboys had decided to use an image of a cowboy as its logo (instead of their iconic star)? Is it taboo to have an image of a person as one’s logo? Is that why Wake Forest did away with their logo? I’m not trying to make a statement; I’m just asking for opinions.
    There is no doubt that it would be considered a negative thing to change the name to Warriors and keep the logo. Of course it would still be offensive.

    It is not taboo to have a person as a logo, but it is taboo to have a person who represents an ethnic stereotype as a logo.

    Seems fair.

    About 18 years ago my idea was this (since they don't even play in Washington):

    The Greater Chesapeake Bay Area Indigenous Persons



    I still think it could work. ;-)

    Given they way they have played the last few years, how about the Washington Doormats?

    I was going to suggest the Washington Monuments (and have seen that suggested) but much as the Nationals are called the Nats, the logical shortening of Monuments starts to cause problems...

    To please the current administration they could be the Red Hats but that would also alienate a lot of people.

    Hail to the greater Chesapeake Bay Area indigenous persons hail victory. Chesapeake Bay Area indigenous people on the warpath fight for old DC.


    That will work great
