Isn't there something NON-political associated with Washington they could name the team after? I was thinking "cherry blossoms" once, but that sounds like something you'd name a Japanese baseball team.

(78,249 posts)actually, Japanese teams are named for the corporations that own them, in this case Nippon Ham. So the name is really "Fighters".

(50,453 posts)Call them the Washington Copperheads. The snake is native to the area and has the degree of menace that good NFL mascots require.

We call the plays.
We control the game from the backfield.
Washington is OUR tailgate party.
Make that first down! Throw money at it!
Even the play names would be interesting.......
The filibusterer rush.
The revolving door lateral.
The long Hail Adelson pass.
In no time at all they would control every aspect of the NFL.
