In a move certain to delight most of official Washington, D.C., it has been decided to change the name of the Washington Redskins football franchise to the Washington Reds. President Obama, himself, voiced his approval of the decision, as did Harry Reid, who was practically giddy upon hearing the news. The stadium will be painted red, in keeping with the new name, and its own name will be changed to Red Stadium. All players who play for the Reds, as well as all Red staff, Red cheerleaders, and Red coaches, will be asked to pay a 60% surtax on their exorbitant salaries and to divest of their pension plans entirely in order to share their wealth more equitably with all of the people of the District of Columbia. Any profit-sharing from games played by the Reds will be placed into the general coffers at Treasury Department and administered by Jack Lew.
Ticket prices are expected to rise, to cover the cost of painting the stadium red, but also because all seating in the stadium is expected to go for the same price in an effort to ensure equality and fairness, although one section of free seats on the 50-yard line is being reserved for members of Congress and select people who work for the Obama administration. There will, of course, be a presidential box with red seats. An account of the new pricing policy, some have expressed concern that the stadium might not fill up as easily on Sundays. However, the former owners of the Reds (now called “Ministers”) have announced that they are establishing an online marketplace where tickets can more easily be sold through “exchanges.” A Canadian company has been hired to take charge of the effort.

>>>Hey,the Steelers are known as “The Steel Curtain”...the Reds can be known as the “Beltway Commies<<<
I think the “Steel Curtain” was the Steelers defensive line from the 1970s.
At any rate, why not call the Washington Reds D-line the “Iron Curtain”?
How apropos
I still like The All Blacks-like the NZ rugby team.
I thought they were going to drop the “Washington” part as being offensive.
i think they should just fold since they no longer have any skin in the game
Please, everyone, this is no joking matter.
They’ve always been at war with EastDallas...
“The Washington Reds Comrades”
Comreds...
What isn’t? Changing the name of the Redskins? Or changing a free nation into a communist one?
“They’ve always been at war with EastDallas...”
You mean East Rutherford.
Lol. Much better pun. My salute to you!
More likely it will be the symbol of a crescent moon.
Best reading of the day!
THANKS!
Seeing as DC is controlled by the democRATS, an appropriate name would be the RATS.
You’re welcome. We aim to please. :-)
