Hoping its Warriors but Red wolves is gaining alot of steam. I'd be fine with either one. As long as its not Red Tails or Generals It is so weird to see anyone discussing the possibility that the last team in the league to hire any non-white players (and only did so when their landlord, the federal government, threatened to evict them over their discriminatory practices) might name themselves the same as a famous WW2 fighter squadron of black pilots. But at the same time the team would be dropping one minority to pick up another

I'm going to be putting the post up later this evening announcing the 2020 F.A.N.tasy Football League. Any final input on superflex/PPR/etc. before I set it in stone would be appreciated.

How about the Washington EdSkreins? Named after actor Ed Skrein?

Whatever they rename themselves doesn't matter to me, as an Eagles fan I'll just continue to hate them, but not as much as the Giants or Cowboys I assume they will keep the R for logo purposes, and chants like HTTR, guess we'll see.

Come on, just air The Replacements on the first day of camp and tell me that they wouldn't want to be the Washington Sentinels.

I want the name to be the Potato Skins. Letβs pay homage to Americaβs 8th favorite appetizer.

As someone that was raised a Washington fan until I made my own choice, and has DC as their closest sports city, Iβm thrilled theyβre finally doing this. Even though Iβm not a fan anymore (partially because of the name), I felt a lot of shame having that be the name of our closest NFL franchise.

Letβs be honest...the Onion article is right. Theyβre just changing the name to the DC Redskins.

But at the same time the team would be dropping one minority to pick up another Well, we are talking about a team that ignored the complaints about their name, so they to expect them to stay away from the racial third rail might be a bit much. It'd also be about going from propping up an entire race as a mascot to honoring a squadron of fighter pilots that served our country. Though I imagine if they did go the "Red Tails" route, they'd get the blessing of any surviving members of the squadron and their families.
Though this is also Dan Snyder we're talking about so.

I've been hearing Redtails and Redwolves being rumored. I'm honestly fine with both of those. As long as we don't get DCFC (DC Football Club).

Washington Nihilists
No nickname, no logo. Just plain black uniforms and helmets, black endzones, plain black merchandise. Cheerleaders wear black. Social media account consists of daily declarations expressing doubt about existential value. US flag replaced by a plain black piece of cloth and the anthem replaced by "How Soon Is Now."
