Man there's something weird going on about that Red Wolves stuff.
And uh, why are THE HOGS in the running too?

pplains, I wasn't sure if you were asking "why" because you didn't know about the Hogs, or because you thought it was a terrible name.
― peace, man, Monday, 13 July 2020 13:47 (three years ago) link
pigskins makes sense to me, they still get to be the 'skins' and it fits with the hogs thing.
red wolves sounds like the name of a lacrosse team, very bad.
― ACABincalifornia (voodoo chili), Monday, 13 July 2020 13:55 (three years ago) link
Oh right. Those hogs.
Lots of chatter about names that I associate with the hometown teams, that's all. Maybe they can be the Washington Travelers? (HTTT?)

Also keep in mind that
When Arkansas State was changing its name from the Indians, there was a lobby for the "Engines", because, you know, Jonesboro is such a train town and has the locomotive engines and whatnot.
And everyone else went Riiiight, that's very clever of you.

If they want to be "The Washington Justice", they will need to appear on the Federalist Society list of candidates and get 51 votes in the Senate.

Effective immediately, Washington will call itself the “Washington Football Team”, pending adoption of a new name, sources tell ESPN.This is not a final renaming and rebranding for team; this is the name it wants to use until pending adoption of a new name in the future. pic.twitter.com/sBs0Uo0ICm— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) July 23, 2020

Were they forced to rename the bullets or did it just happen? I remember it happened seemingly over night.

it was a response to the assassination of yitzchak rabin, of all things

"My friend was shot in the back by bullets,” Pollin said. “The name ‘Bullets’ is no longer appropriate for a sports team.”
― Wayne Grotski (symsymsym), Friday, 24 July 2020 01:16 (three years ago) link
tbf if they went back to being the bullets, but like powerpoint list bullets, it would be a perfectly appropriate team name for the city and region to get behind

― The GOAT Harold Land (Karl Malone), Friday, 24 July 2020 01:44 (three years ago) link
the wikipedia for the wizards makes a really weird claim that rabin's assassin "got the idea when he watched the Bullets play a basketball game and heard the team name and suddenly snapped.[15]" the source is a link to a very thorough article about the name change that doesn't mention anything about that, and i can't find a single other thing making that claim.
washington wizards is the worst name in pro sports
