Washington Redskins no more. What's next?

Washington Post opinion editor says the Texas Rangers MLB franchise should drop their name because the law enforcement officers they're named after are a 'cruel, racist force'  I'd say they are named after a wonderful law enforcement agency that presently is one of the best in the nation. When will this all end?



To quote an old joke, the NFL’s team in the nation’s capital has suddenly discovered that their name is offensive. The new name will be … the DC Redskins.

Our parodical son, the Babylon Bee reports:
Here's What's Problematic With Each Of The NFL's 32 Team Names Examples:
. . . Indianapolis Colts - This name glorifies guns.
Jacksonville Jaguars - Jaguars are driven by evil rich billionaires as they run over poor people.
Kansas City Chiefs - We suggest switching to Kansas City Wise Indigenous Tribal Elders.
Las Vegas Raiders - Celebrates The Raiders of the Lost Ark, which featured prominent Nazi imagery.
Los Angeles Chargers - We don't think anyone who has faced down a line of charging riot police would find this name the least bit funny.
Los Angeles Rams - Dodge Rams contribute heavily to the climate crisis.
Miami Dolphins - Painful reminder that Sea World still exists. . . .
