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.

Feinstein: “The team’s new name should be ‘Justice.’ “ https://t.co/RU5SHj2th6

as in No Justice, No Peace

or as in the current 2020 Department of Justice

Washington Cronies

the rest of that column is actually fine, but the kicker . . . i guess if you write about sports long enough, everyone turns into rick reilly

Redclots

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.

i think the Washington Justice should have a practice scrimmage against the GOP softball team

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

actually i support them keeping this forever

I have been advocating for "Washington Team (of) Football," because it can be abbreviated WTF.

thats a really strong logo/brand honestly

this is the best possible outcome I love it

I need them to adopt the rap from Wildcats as their theme song immediately

The popular song from the movie

how about Washington rename themselves to being relegated to the arena league

Kind of thinking has worked out ok for the Oakland Athletics!

Just waking back up from my pregame nap to see about The Washington Football team??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Is that real?? No way! Oh man they had a thorough intense long board meeting about that one huh. 🥴🤦🏾‍♂️

was looking at old washington football team content and this happened TEN years ago

clearly not knicks fans

Knicks fans are in a special wing of the Smithsonian until the end of 2021

and on showtime on Tuesdays and Sundays

this is tremendous.

is this some kind of hamfisted attempt to troll people by Snyder? not really working.

now i want the seahawks to complain about infringement

hopefully this means the fight song lyrics will be changed to “hail to the football”

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

no one remembers because on the night the bullets changed their name, the entire world ended, just as so many people had warned

https://www.nbcsports.com/washington/wizards/ever-wonder-why-name-change-bullets-wizards

"My friend was shot in the back by bullets,” Pollin said. “The name ‘Bullets’ is no longer appropriate for a sports team.”

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

Washington PowerPoints

wow, i never heard that story about how the rabin assassination triggered the bullets name change

The Washington Executive Summaries

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

The DC C-Notes

they really have a ton of good options

iirc abe pollin built dc's whatever-it's-now-called-hoops-and-hockey arena on his own without* public money, so he was cool with me

(* i'm sure there were easements and transport/metro concessions made, but relatively speaking. dude was not snyder)

I'd be really shocked if Orthodox Israeli Yigal Amir watched NBA hoops

Reggie Jackson did it

The Washington Lanyards

YES
