Pat should have taken on the Washington Nationals. Sorry, George, but “Washington” is about the most offensive name going at the moment. And about 70 percent of Americans would get behind that crusade right quick.
You do realize there are those that are already proposing to remove George Washington from the one dollar bill.
You cannot have our Redskins name taken, and then our Nationals. Presumably, the Capitals would be next, for obvious reasons, leaving us only with the Wizards and the United, unless you count the Mystics, which no non-lesbians do. The United probably has to go given that we are a hopelessly divided nation, unless it is a reference to the unity between the Democrats and the GOPe. Gone too are the Wizards (a name that, given the make up of the NBA, is somewhat, albeit unintentionally, hilarious).
I would, however, like to have a national referendum to rename all of the DC sports teams. I suspect that such a referendum would yield some revealing results.
