This screams of an over correction from being too scared to offend anyone.

“Um, exCUUUUse me. I was bullied by a football team, and that team name is offensive.”

no one is actually offended, it's just paid for by politicians

They could always be topical and be the Washington Harassers

 

[Beaker42]

They’re serious lol

I think the Washington Weenies is appropriate.

 

[Asklesko]

Just when I thought it couldn't get lamer

I see a problem with this going forward. TEAM is kind of offensive to all those not fortunate enough to be part of a TEAM.

And those offended by people that are offended.

 

[Aven8]

I hate it

What a bunch of “loosers”, as most egals and skins fans spell it.

It's a temporary name because I'm sure finding a long term one they're going to have to jump through hoops for a little while with copyrights and legalities. I expect by next spring they unveil a name and a logo and have the uniforms and stadium all setup for the 2021 season.

idk seems like the native american groups that have been trying to get a slur against them removed for decades are probably a tinge offended by the name.

No Washington Retards?......thought for sure that would catch on

Hey, make them wear their helmets all the time!

I think that would cross a cultural line. I want to honor the 'tarded not defame them.

Not all of them. It just seems very odd since a Native American designed the logo and OK'd the name. Many have been guests at the stadium and there were plenty not offended by the R word. But people are easily offended these days. Is it a slur or isn't it? Some NAs say it is, some say it isn't.

They will always be the Commanders to me.

Here’s the Onion’s take on Twitter last week...

 

[Oz-of-Cowboy-Country]

Can we all agree to call them the Show Clowns?

The Washington Show Clowns. That sounds better.

 

[fivetwos]

Headline a bit misleading on this one maybe?

 

[wrongway]

What a clown show up there in DC, man.

The whole nfl is a clown show. Done with it. Hang here for the amusement from time to time.
