There is one border that surrounds the entire nation. Then you have Alaska and Hawaii.

Iām not for or against getting rid of āRedskinsā, although Iām going to miss the old school helmets and I think things are kind of overblown, but thisā¦this is the dumbest most generic and least inspiring possible choice. āOrganicā my ass.
This is annoying. They have been talking about changing the name for forever. Leaving out the whole should they should they not part they are making this really complicated and itās just making them look silly (which for a while now they have on the field as well).
The last three name additions/changes in the NFL were Panthers, Jaguars, Titans. Making this shit seem like they need to vet like a Vice Presidential pick. In a league where the vast majority of team names are name of city followed by animal this really isnāt that complicated.
Right?? I mean, ALLLL this time and this is what they come up with??
The name change has been talked about for a long time by a lot of people, but the owner has stated that he would never, ever, change the name. So I donāt think within the organization thereās been much thought given to a new name until recently.
As a long suffering Skinsā fan, Iām hoping for a new owner more than anything. Snyderās teams have generally sucked. He has sued season ticket holders despite claiming that thereās a 20 year waiting list to buy season tickets. Now thereās the sexual harassment of employees and cheerleaders. Iām hoping the league will force him out but Iām not hopeful. Word on the street is that thereās a lot more dirt that hasnāt come out. We will see.
Going forward there will be some people who think this team has a racist name no matter what the word after Washington is.

I honestly donāt see why they donāt go the super simple animal route if thatās a concern. Just go with Wildcats or something and be done with it.
Just name them the Librarians. Then make LeVar Burton a spokesman.

Something tells me that no matter the nickname they are going to be the Washington 4-12ās while Snyder owns them.
Read an article that said they bought DC sentinels website or something so it could be that.

Thereās a story out about a fan who trademarked a few likely names:
I donāt know how much legal weight that holds but it may be part of the holdup.
On a less serious note when my SDS (Snyder Derangement Syndrome) is kicking in I imagine Snyder and the rest of the higher ups in a boardroom while Snyder tosses out ideas for a new name like: Savages, Scalpers, Injuns, etc. while his underlings try to figure out ways to say āyessirā while still steering him away from bad ideas.

Sadly, Iād bet large amounts of money on this being true.
The Washington Possums?
Once again, The āWashingtonā part will have to go sooner or later, too. Might as well get it over with now.
If I am the owner, I would have picked a new name and colors years ago. I would pick whatever colors and name that would result in the most merchandise sales. The Redskins name was a poor business decision (and I feel like the owner stuck with it out of spite).
The Raider can suck and sell a bunch of merch, because they have a cool logo, they have good colors that look good on most people, and they got early rappers to wear their stuff.
All Washingtons should be changed to Wakanda.

Hmmmmā¦ they could change to Pirates and their logo can be a Somali.
Their owner would probably approve of it (out of spite).
DC Possums?
