What will be DC football team new name??

[CK_John]

My pick "Lobbyist".

1. The Utah Redskins

For those of us who live in DC, we think the more offensive part of the name is "Washington"

And in case this was needed:

6. Name them after their coach: the Shenanigans.

Their coach, Mike Shanahan, was the coach of the Broncos. DC is learning that "Shenanigan" is a mess. In Denver he ruined quarterbacks: Bubby Brister, Brian Griece. Now you have RG3 who is almost ruined.

Ironically, Shenanigan deserves this. When Shenanigan was an assistant coach in Denver, he went behind the back of the coach, Dan Reeves, and scripted plays with John Elway. Dan Reeves went so far as to draft another quarterback, Tommy Maddox, to replace Elway! Now Shenanigan is feeling betrayed by RG3 and the owner of the DC team. Dan Reeves is a good man of character and football while Shenanigan is just awful.

Worst of all, as the 2000 election approached, Shenanigan made a speech for George W. Bush when he visited Broncos training camp. This was while people in the Denver area were forced to pay extra taxes to build them a new stadium. You know, the stadium where the Broncos have since won just two playoff games in the past ten or so years! Yeah, we needed that stadium to help them win superbowls. We've won exactly zero since.

Oh, and how did the Broncos do in the 2000 season? Instead of finding wide receivers, Shenanigan was making speeches. Then during the season, the offense struggled with not having enough wide receivers. In fact during the return of one intercepted pass, our Superbowl MVP running back had to tackle the player and suffered a career-ending injury.

So, I feel sorry for Washington because they are stuck with this piece of garbage for a coach. Given Snyder's refusal to change the team name, Snyder deserves the shenanigans.

9. Change the logo to a Redskin Potato, and they can keep the name.

Serve a variety of mashed, baked and fried potatoes as the team food in the stands.



I've been saying this for years. Of course, I like potatoes. I don't like objectification of large groups of people, unless it's done ironically, to make a point.... like so:

10. I'm going to actually be Realistic

I'm guessing either something completely new or they'll be the Senators since theirs no baseball team with that name now and their used to be an AFL team with that name.

25. Snyder registered "Washington Warriors" as a trademark

allegedly for a new arena football team, but more likely as a fallback in case he had lost the trademark case.
