How about the Cherry Blossoms? They already have a festival. Why not add it to the football team. I can see the tee shirts now....Fear the Blossom!

What about the Atlanta Braves, Florida State Seminoles, Utah Utes, CMU Chippewas, and the Mississippi College Choctaws? Nope even calling them Braves is insulting it appears

Hammer - Divided is perfect! The could have an elephant on one side and a donkey on the other side of their helmet. Yes, I thought of the obvious political implications. It does seem perfect for the times. DC does lean heavily left or Democratic, so maybe 90% of the helmet is blue, and 10% red, with a large donkey and a tiny elephant.

I'm down to change every team name in the country if conservatives get this mad every time.
What will society do without the great cultural touchstone of Redskins? I need racial slurs to function!

I am offended by everything, I am a sensitive snowflake. Since Kansas City has really bad weather, at least according to surveys, I would go with a killer weather theme for them, maybe the KC Sharknados. Their jerseys could have patches and streaks of simulated blood on them.

I am offended by huskers, farm labor has been horribly unfair and abusive. I think it needs to be changed.

The island of Manhattan, that Name needs to be changed. White men took over and made millions in this location. It offends me. Vanderbilt used laborers to make him a millionaire, the universities name should be changed. Guggenheim Museum, he was a horrible man. That should also be changed.

The fact that people think changing a name that's literally a racial slur is a problem is wild to me. I know we have to draw the line somewhere but there's no way "redskins" is on the keep it side.

NCAA already went through this a few years ago, any team in that situation had to get permission from local tribes to use the name. Doesn't it need a revisit though. What about the Kansas City Chiefs? The Houston Texans is a bit shaky too. I don't see the Chiefs changing it (as a chiefs fan). They may change imagery around it and stop doing the chop. I wouldn't hate seeing them revive the Monarchs. That would be cool.
