Redskins name change should be discussed, Vincent Gray says

The Redskins’ resurgence has District politicos once again talking about what it would take to relocate the team back inside the city limits. But Mayor Vincent C. Gray (D) today suggested there would have to be a controversial prerequisite to any stadium deal: a name change, or at least discussion of one.

Of course, I suggest the Washington Bloodsuckers or perhaps the Washington Parasites, the possibilities are endless.

They are indeed:

Cliffdwellers
Millionaires
One-Percenters
Socialites
Can-Kickers
Elitists (I'd say "Elite" but I despise team nicknames that aren't plural)
Bolsheviks

&c.

Mayor Vincent C. Gray (D) — Shut up.........

[VastRWCon]

How about

Washington Senators
Washington Critters
Washington Widgits

..."gray" is a racial slur that is applied to whites who try to "act black," kind of an inverse "Oreo cookie."

Got to admit, even at 63, I've never heard that before.

Let's sioux sue!

Dizzy-Lizzy "High Cheekbones" Warren: pls pick-up the "pink" courtesy phone!

Or we could call them the Washington Cherry Blossoms and have little fairy’s on the 50th yard line throwing flowers, I hate PC people.

What's wrong with redskins? They are great with corned beef and cabbage.

They could change it to Kill Whitey.

[MasterGunner01]

Change it to the Washington Foreskins. Appropriate.

[Cyman]

We could name it after their ex-mayor “ The Washington Coke Snorting Adulterers” or just the “ Washington Barry’s”

[Revolting cat!]

Which suggests a new name for the team: The Washington Kartoffelns

[DonGrafico]

Go Washington Kenyans!

[twister881]

The Washington Kardashians

The Washington “Bitch Set Me Up!”

[Venturer]

The one that gets me is the Baltimore Ravens.

Ravns are crows or Blackbirds.

[twister881]

The Washington Socialists

[RetSignman]

How about the Washington RG3’s? Without him they wouldn’t have gotten even close to playoffs.

In fact, “gray” is a racial that is applied to whites who try to “act black”.....

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
I agree with Carriage Hill - I am 73 and NEVER heard that term before....

Now, I do remember them being called “Wiggers”.

Also, Gray has some serious campaign and political problems, the name of a football team shouldn’t be on his list.

“It makes us wonder what moronic names these people want to name the Redskins? Keep that popcorn coming”

The Washington Generals, of course.

Although they will probably name the team after Obama.
