I'm sure the NFL's marketing operation will have a big say in this. Don't expect anything edgy or fun. <snip> That is such a brutally cynical point of view that I am now at least 90% certain that when the dust settles we will be the Washington Warriors. P.S. On reflection make that 95% sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.S. On reflection make that 95% sure. It's a function of middle age. If you reach my age without being cynical about the government and corporate America, it means you haven't been paying attention. 😄 So yes, Warriors it is!

You're not honoring anyone naming a football team after them. Just stop with that . Agreed. It’s over. Let’s let it die gracefully. No half-measures.

At least Abe Pollin pretended to care what tbe fans thought when he changed the Bullets name. After reading that second article where Rivera claims they’ve been working on this for weeks I think you’re right. They have made up their minds and the whole “We are going to examine and deliberate on the issue” bs is just to give US, the fans, time to get used to the idea. While I know there are time constraints and economic pressures forcing a quick decision it kind of sucks if we end up with no input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommanderInTheRye Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 19 minutes ago, Mr. Sinister said: Yup. Of course Nicolas Cage ruined that like he ruins everything else The only Nicolas Cage film that I like was the uncompromisingly dark masterpiece “Leaving Las Vegas”. I think it’s because he plays a thoroughly unlikeable and unsympathetic character which means he didn’t have to act, he could just be himself.

actorguy1 Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 I assumed this would work for the baseball team in Atlanta but how about Washington Brave Singular, so not directly affiliated with native Americans and also abstract enough it can't be tied to anything.

Dissident2 Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 54 minutes ago, httrMP said: They want something paying tribute to Native Americans and the military: • AH-64 Apache attack helicopter • UH-60 Black Hawk utility helicopter • UH-72 Lakota utility helicopter • CH-47 Chinook heavy-lift transport helicopter • OH-58 Kiowa observation helicopter, which the Army is considering retiring them • OH-6 Cayuse observation helicopter • TH-67 Creek trainer helicopter—the Army may retire them, too How dare someone name a tool of war after an entire group of people? Those will be the next targets. Followed by Jeep Cherokees, Dodge Dakotas, and of course ALL Pontiacs. See where this logic leads? Go, Red Wolves.

It really doesn't bother me. Just bring home a Lombardi trophy and I'm happy. Of course the minor league baseball team in Richmond is the Flying Squirrels. Is that edgy enough?

His father, Fred Sanford, an electrician and auto mechanic from Hickman, Kentucky, left the family when Foxx was four years old. He was raised by his half-Seminole mother, Mary Hughes, from Ellisville, Mississippi, his grandmother and his minister. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry.Randolphe Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Why would we want to be the Renegades? Have you looked up the meaning of the word? Definition of renegade 1: a deserter from one faith, cause, or allegiance to another 2: an individual who rejects lawful or conventional behavior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Chaaarmnder Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 9 hours ago, SumTingWong said: 2. Red Wolves- Wolves roam in packs and they are bad ass creatures. Here on the Outer Banks of NC, Red Wolves were reintroduced to the wild back in the 80’s. Still a small contingent near Alligator River. Red Wolves are a federally protected species, currently “critically endangered”. I like the name “red wolves” better than the others discussed, however what’s the connection to Washington other than a marvel character? To be honest, if we aren’t going to be the Redskins anymore, let’s just be Washington. Take a page out of the English premier league and just go by your location.

DiscoBob Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 They just need to pick another racist name. Or maybe they could just rename them The Washington Racists, where they could rotate every year to a new, but offensive, logo... they could be like collectors items!
