Washington Redskin's New Name?

[Big RR]

According to Wikipedia (yes, I know it's wikipedia):

Although Salt Lake City was not known for its jazz culture, the team decided to keep the name, as there was not enough time before the start of the 1979–80 season to receive league approval for a name change.[14] The Jazz also preserved the original Mardi Gras-themed colors: green, purple, and gold. As a result of the move, of the three ABA teams that were left out of the ABA–NBA merger, the erstwhile Utah Stars are the only one to have eventually been replaced by an NBA team.

Nor is LA known for its lakes.

I'm surprised they chose that name instead of the Los Angeles Undocumented Latinos.

Amid calls for justice, NFL teams are taking bold steps to change their team names and end racism. This has caused controversy since everyone is racist. Are you confused? Never fear! We at The Babylon Bee are here to educate you. We believe that all 32 teams were built by a system of whiteness that must be dismantled, one team name at a time.

We MUST do better. Here is why every NFL team name is very problematic:

Arizona Cardinals - Too religious.

Atlanta Falcons - Celebrates one of the cheapest Smash Bros. characters, who is a smug little punk only jerks choose.

Baltimore Ravens - Named after the Disney Channel show That's So Raven without the POC protagonist's permission.

Buffalo Bills - Bills are an evil byproduct of capitalism.

Carolina Panthers - The panther was appropriated wholesale from Wakandan culture.

Chicago Bears - Murderous bears should never be celebrated.

Cincinnati Bengals - It just sounds racist. We're looking into it.

Cleveland Browns - Brown what? Are you talking about skin color again? Sounds like white fragility.

Dallas Cowboys - A mutant half boy, half cow is tragic and shouldn’t be used as a mascot.

Denver Broncos - Horses have been subjugated and enslaved for millennia.

Detroit Lions - Lions are not vegans.

Green Bay Packers - Glorifies butcherous meat packers. Meat causes global warming. Gross.

Houston Texans - Celebrates the most racist state in the Union.

Indianapolis Colts - This name glorifies guns.

Jacksonville Jaguars - Jaguars are driven by evil rich billionaires as they run over poor people.

Kansas City Chiefs - We suggest switching to Kansas City Wise Indigenous Tribal Elders.

Las Vegas Raiders - Celebrates The Raiders of the Lost Ark, which featured prominent Nazi imagery.

Los Angeles Chargers - We don't think anyone who has faced down a line of charging riot police would find this name the least bit funny.

Los Angeles Rams - Dodge Rams contribute heavily to the climate crisis.

Miami Dolphins - Painful reminder that Sea World still exists.

Minnesota Vikings - Associated with patriarchy-dominated Norse mythology.

New England Patriots - REEEEEEEEEEEE

New Orleans Saints - Goes against the constitutional principle of separation of church and sports.

New York Giants - They prefer the term "persons of height."

New York Jets - The burning of jet fuel contributes to global warming.

Philadelphia Eagles - Eagles are a well-known Nazi symbol.

Pittsburgh Steelers - Steel contributes to global warming.

San Francisco 49ers- The gold miner mascot hearkens back to manifest destiny and the destruction of Mother Earth

Seattle Seahawks - Birds are unable to give consent to have their name used as mascots.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers - This one's actually OK because they were probably just stealing bread to feed their families.

Tennessee Titans - Reinforces the harmful idea of power structures and male-dominated hierarchies.

Washington Redskins - Nothing wrong with this one as far as we can tell.

We hope this informative list is a wake-up call to the NFL. If we continue to work on ourselves, we can help the NFL become more inclusive! Within 20 years, we may get them to put down the ball and kick it around as the ancient Aztecs intended us to.

What about the 'Eightysixers'? As in 864511320.

No minority group or individual should be chosen as a sports team mascot. No matter the intent of the name chosen the name can always be seen as a slur in the future. For example, The NLU Indian was forced to change their mascot because it was seen as a slur for Amerindians, but it wasn’t a slur. The name was chosen to honor their first coach who was half Indian and called the player his Indians. Avoid all minority groups and avoid trouble in the future.

And besides football is a savage game and should have a savage mascot. My primitive Amerindians' ancestors could not compete with my primitive Eurasian ancestors. Fortunately for my great grandmother’s people by the time the Europeans reached America they were half-tamed otherwise there would be no Indians today.

The Vandals would be a great mascot. Just think of all of the little plastic shields and war axes the team could sell. And think of the effect of thousands of fans beating their shields in rhythm and screaming kill them all.

Really, can you see that name raising the passions of the fans? Hell, if they don’t assault someone in the parking lot on the way home they were never inspired. Savages, I say savages is what is needed.

No, that's pretty solid. The Defensive line could be called "The Committee" (where things go to die). The QB could be "the majority leader" or "the whip". And the useless players who trip over their own feet could be the "Blue dogs".

Geez some folks really are wedded to the old racist order of things.

"Look, I found a Native American who doesn't object to the name, therefore the otherwise near unanimity of Native Americans who object to such a blatantly racist slur must be wrong."

You mean like the Red Mesa Redskins?

(Red Mesa being 90% Navajo.)

Washington Wallies.

Washington Politically Correct Snowflakes.

Seriously...Red Hawks.

I just watched the movie Red Tails and I’m a big fan of that option.

Yes, like that. It's like saying, "hey, here are some slaves that would have preferred never to be emancipated, therefore slavery should not have been abolished."
