I liked the Baseketball team name

"I think the Republican Party should change their name to the 'Washington Generals'"

BINGO!

[Eric in the Ozarks]

You left out Iowa.
Allamakee, Anamosa, Appanoose, Black Hawk, Cherokee, Monona, Okoboji, Onawa, etc...

Ooops! Still, not too shabby for right off the top of my head!

[right way right]

Washington Gambling Establishement Owners.

Actually, the first two names that came to mind were Manitowoc and Oconomowoc.

Just change it to “Redspears” and keep the Native American imagery. It’s easy on the tongue, not racist, and not a difficult transition. Perhaps it will lead to certain types of sexual innuendo for a few days, but remember how fast the iPad jokes dissipated. :)

and we should replace the sexist mascot name Cowboys with the gender neutral name of Cow-persons!

My cousin and I call them "the Persons of Cow".

[dfwgator]

Cow-Patties would be more appropriate, since that’s what they’ve playing like for the past 15+ years.

[Revolting cat!]

Washington Politicalcorrectors.

How about the “Washington ForeSkins”! LOL!

That would discriminate against circumcised queers and mutilated muslim girls. /s

[lentulusgracchus]

Then there is San Francisco and the greedy egalitarian 49’ers

How about "San FranCrisco Gerbils"?

[lentulusgracchus]

I call the Texans the "Cow-on-Hat-persons". Can't do too much with them otherwise.

When I'm in a mood, I like "Dallas Blowboys", too.

Coming of age, my brother’s friends had a game they’d play where any team logo (any sport) would be quick sketched out, from memory, and the “canvas” was always a side view of a kicker’s football helmet. Somewhere, someone has these sketches squirreled away.... I would love to see some today.

The Buffalo Sabres sketch was a riot because it was a crude drawing of a Buffalo literally skewered by 2 crossing swords... but the all time best was the Star of David on the side of a silver helmet.... everyone was pissing themselves laughing... we called it the Dallas CowJews.

There is a lake in Massachusetts called Lake Chargoggaggoggmanchaugagoggchaubunagungamaug. The name is a Native American word that means ‘You fish on your side, I’ll fish on my side, nobody fish in the middle.’

I know this is a true fact because I had a gig there once.

[left that other site]

Well, the actual translation is disputed, but that’s the real name of the lake. So we just call it Lake Webster.

Maybe Washington should change its name from some rich, white, racist, slave-ownin’, cracka to something more black, like Trix, or Lucky Charms or sumfin.

The Delaware Indians used to be a tribe.

I am pretty sure the Potomac river is and Indian name.

The Potomac flows through downtown Washington DC
