When I lived in Hawaii they were just The Rainbows, but I think they added the “Warriors” in the 80s.

First of all, Washington owned slaves so that has to go. Second, we must have retribution against whitey for decades of use of the “Redskins” racial slur.
Therefore I suggest “Capitol Crackers”...

The Washington Pussies. They can put the team mascot on their helmets as a big..........well, you get the idea. After every tackle, the offensive player can jump up and yell,’Me, too!’ at the ref.

When he changed the name to WFT, Dan Snyder made a mistake. He meant WTF.

Turns out Dan’s dyslexic ...

I’ve got the perfect name. Ties in the past with the future.
“THE CAPITOL FORESKINS”. How’s that for a mouthful?

In Milwaukee the Marquette Warriors became the Golden Eagles. The alumni were pissed and nobody had complained about the name, the school just went PC on their own.

Warriors is terrible.

Because no one was ever a warrior except Indians. (I will not use that offensive term.)

Use some Romans or Spartans or even Japanese “warriors”.
