I'm hoping for a total change to the D.C. Lizard People.

The Navajo Nation suggested "Code Talkers." That's a really worthy name, but I don't know if it sounds football-y. If I didn't know the history, I'd have thought it meant computer programming.

Name's already been used by two CFL teams...who co-existed at the same time for decades.

As for the topic, it's well past due. Maybe they can change their name to the Washington Airborne, to remind everyone that Nazis are the bad guys and Americans, and the vast majority of the civilized world, fought against them.
The past tempts us, the present confuses us, the future frightens us. And our lives slip away moment by moment lost in that vast, terrible in-between.

Well if DMX bought the team then he could just say that he was changing it to complement his song Rough Riders Anthem.

I wonder if the Cleveland Indians will have change as well and whether or not they will try to put a ban on Major League and Major League II.

They can keep the Redskins name, and change the icon to a peanut.

There is alot of support for Red Tails. Named after the Tuskegee Airmen painting the tails of their planes red.

But today a big article was released about rampant drug use, sexual abuse, buying off refs etc.
I got nothing to say here.
