Washington Feds

[Verginius Rufus]

Washington Feds.

Is that one of the proposed names or the likely name for the team? What would they call a player who got traded away from the team? A Fed-ex?

Mayor Anthony Williams was quoted last week as opposing the use of Washington Senators as the team name, because the city's residents don't have Senate representation. Ignoring the fact that DC was never really intended to have a residential population, I'll play along for a minute.

What does Washington, DC have that could be "representative" of the city in the minds of many?

Washington DrugRunners

Washington Gangstas

Washington BloodSuckers

Washington Illegals

Washington Parking Jockeys

Washington Panhandlers

...

Give me more time; I can think of lots of other more representative names, Mr. Mayor.
