30 Alternative Names For The Washington Redskins
After 82 years in the league, the Washington Redskins are doing the most ignorant thing possible–they’re insisting on keeping the name that no one complained about for decades.
That’s right, I’ll give you a moment to reel in from the shock. This politically correct bullshit is getting really old, and if all these “offensive” team names (also including the Cleveland Indians, Atlanta Braves, etc.) were REALLY causing damage to society, someone would have done something about them years and years ago. America is going soft and no one wants to solve the real problems, just the ones they can blame on someone else, but I digress.
An all out assault on the Redskins’ name has begun, and I like to prepare for worst case scenarios. That said, we should give the D.C. politicians lashing out against the name what they deserve and change the Redskins to something that really captures the essence of what the rest of America actually thinks about the nation’s capital.
Here are a few ideas:
- The Washington Bureaucrats
- The Washington Scandals
- The Washington Lost Emails
- The Washington Cover Ups
- The Washington Taxpayer-Funded Pension Plans
- The Washington Leeches
- The Washington Golf Trips
- The Washington Drones
- The Washington Tax Cheats
- The Washington Loopholes
- The Washington Mistresses
- The Washington Regulators
- The Washington Pork Barrels
- The Washington Teleprompters
- The Washington Liars
- The Washington Panderers
- The Washington Spenders
- The Washington Failures
- The Washington Spies
- The Washington Hackers
- The Washington Departments
- The Washington Lobbyists
- The Washington Hookers
- The Washington Hypocrites
- The Washington Snowdens
- The Washington Interns
- The Washington Payoffs
- The Washington Kickbacks
- The Washington Investigators
- The Washington Schmucks
Alternatively, if Dan Snyder really wants to piss off these time and money wasting politicians, he can just sell the team to some certified jackass and let him rename it as he pleases–hopefully to something unpopular. That may just ruffle a few feathers.

10 years ago at 5:08 pmWe might as well go ahead and change the Vikings name too. Don’t want any Norwegians getting offended.
10 years ago at 9:59 pmthis is fucking stupid. I’m glad the top comment here supports the idea that racism isn’t justified just because measures weren’t taken in the past. Just because you’re in a fraternity doesn’t mean you have be asshole conservative. You can be politically conservative without being a shit head
10 years ago at 11:19 pmLiberals in this country love to manufacture faux outrage like this because it distracts people from asking questions like “how are we going to finance free healthcare for half the population?” or “Why did the president just trade 5 high value terrorist prisoners for a deserter without congressional approval?”

10 years ago at 6:01 amIt’s not that people didn’t have a problem with it. This change will not solve the ills of our society. However native Americans, the individuals who have the biggest right to complain have been the biggest losers in history. No other group of people can identify with the derogatory nature of the names than them. We mustn’t silence the peoples right to speak out just because they are few. However I still agree that there are bigger fish to fry.
10 years ago at 7:06 amFuck it, might as well change everything to unicorns and leprechauns. Don’t want PETA to get offended by our animal mascots. When will all this bull shit end.
10 years ago at 8:21 am“Oklahoma” literally means “red people” in Choctaw, but you don’t see them trying to rename the entire state.
