There are a lot of names in there that sound like AAF or XFL team names.

I seriously doubt that in today’s climate that they do anything that commemorates the military or anything that’s relatively patriotic or white




But that's just it...Redtails honors the Tuskegee Airmen. Its a perfect way to be patriotic and American without being "white" as you say. Liberals would be absolutely stumped over this..and that's exactly why i want them to be the Redtails. Watching Liberals suddenly become patriotic would be the height of hypocrisy.

I absolutely hated it at first. But I think the Washington Football Team has kind of grown on me.

At first it felt very generic, but in a way it's also very unique as well.

^ Washington generals sounds cool but everyone knows them as that team the globetrotters would destroy.

If they select Razorbacks, we will require a licensing fee for the Woo Pig Sooie chant.

hey all sound like USFL nicknames...whatever they pick will be awful...


It’s funny, because to this point in the thread I don’t think I’ve seen Federals. Somebody did add it a few posts below.

Wasn’t Birmingham the “Americans” in the old WFL?

Guess some version of all the patriotic/political positions/military names is where they wind up.

I was the dude who suggested "Federals". Incidentally I heard Dan Patrick suggest it years ago when this whole Redskins snafu became a thing, and it sounded good to me.

Little did I know that was, in fact the old USFL Washington team name.

It seems to me that DC doesn’t even deserve a team after seeing this.

it's not that hard - Snyder should honor the native american group that pulled the name change stunt in 2017. they advocated for redhawks. just use it and move on.
