Admirals is lame. After hearing about what Jag fans are doing this week, I really think Washington should have gone with "Washington Clownshow". Just imagine all you could do with that. The crowd could dress up and the pan around the stands would be nightmare fuel for all opposing players and fans.

Your team is made up of players. Each player has a mind, body, and makes his own decisions. Together, they act individually, but work as a TEAM.

They're not a substance. Or an idea. Your kicker is not some idea. It's not a "dream" or a "liberty."

Plus, it's more intimidating to know that you're about to play the Washington Football Teams.

I'm still really pissed about that.

Everybody in town still wears Fighting Sioux gear. Because Fighting Hawks is the dumbest thing they could have come up with. When I saw that was one of the names that made the cut to 20 or whatever it was, I thought that was some kind of joke, like every person on the committee said, "Hey, wouldn't it be funny if I voted for the worst one?"

This is how we will one day have Seymour Butts as president, people.

It would still be better than Red Tails. If my football team changed their name to that, I'd switch teams.

(And I don't care about the history or politics. I'm just talking about the name "Red Tails". It's a terrible name.)

The Washington Carvers was a missed opportunity

I'm convinced that if they had gone with Ermines they would be one of the top college athletic programs in the country right now.

I like Avalanche, because your team can act like a massive pile of snow and destroy other teams in its path.

I actually like Redtails. Really, I liked all of the "Red" names I heard thrown around: Redwolves, Redtails, Redhawks (that's a new one but sounds cool enough).

Admirals isn't bad. Commanders wouldn't have been terrible either.

It’s fine that the NHL lets the Avalanche, Wild, and Kraken through.

But the NFL likes the idea of tradition. It doesn’t want some modern conceptual mascot muddying up the works

Braves and Chiefs are next on the agenda.

Give it 5-10 years.

I still like the idea of keeping "Kansas City Chiefs" but change the Native American theme to a First Responders type theme.

Something kinda like this..

I see nothing wrong with Washington Hogs. A lot of their fans called the Redskins the hogs so it’s a nod to their tradition.

Chiefs should just move to Celtic or European design.

The word is french origin after all.
