How about “Trump Suckers”?

How about just the “Skins”? Everyone else can be “Shirts”. It would save a lot on uniforms.

I’ve been pushing for “The Anal Sphincters”… but I like “The Invertebrates” quite well.

Swamp things.

The Get Us Outa Heres.

I have some other suggestions, BUT the moderator would have a coronary IF I mentioned them here…

/smirk/

All the above suggestions seem to associate the team with Trump and his party. Since I don’t follow sports, I have no idea whether they have openly — or even “quietly” — supported that brand of politics.

But either way, I propose that the team’s new name should reflect pride in the founding principle of the country of which the District is the capital. Therefore, they should be renamed “the Democrats”.

The “Shredders”?

I would rather the team had a proactive name instead of perpetuating a myth of perpetual discord and dysfunctionality in DC.

I cannot say I track written NFL rules but they seem to have a Team Location and a one word name (49ers is a weak spot in my logic). The “Red Ink” wouldn’t fit that but the others would. I would go with The Washington Deplorables.

Washington White-washers

My preferred choice is “the Washington Toadies”; however, there are many other worthy choices: yes-men; apparatchiks, company men; hangers-on, leeches, parasites, sponges, spongers; henchman, lackeys, lapdogs, minions, running dogs, stooges; admirers, cultists, devotees, enthusiasts, grovelers, idolaters (or idolators), worshippers (or worshipers), zealots; adherents, camp followers, converts, disciples, followers, me-tooers, partisans (also partizan).

The LOBBYISTS.

Just ‘Washington’…if the fans can’t figure that out, God bless ’em.

Ass kissers!

The wipe-outs if the previous few years are anything to go by…

Trumpholes.

The Pandemic Money Makers

If they did move back to DC – “The Unrepresented.”

The Greasy Palms

Washington Warriors with an image of trump as their mascot. They could follow an establish tradition of leaving carnage where ever they go… winning not so much but then that is nothing new for the team anyway.

Rednecks

The nickname for Washington’s offensive line used to be the Hogs, so why not go with that? Or combine the two and call the team the Pigskins?

The Washington Cork Soakers?

The problem is far larger than the name of Washington’s NFL team! The Kakistocracy led by #45 is ruining America!

The stinking racists.

I go with bootlickers

Aww man, did you have to do that? Other people besides politicians live here, you know.

The 1%ers!

Washington Invertebrates. Yeah. I like that—

I like the bootlickers logo.

Snyder’s Spyders.

How about the Swamp Monsters? More fun for the cartoonists.

…how about anti-fascist? Or progressive? Should a Native American school continue to name their team “Lying Palefaces” (actually happened)?

Also: Hey, I got an idea: a car engine w/no dipstick: ’twould never run low on oil!

THE BOOTLICKERS….unless A$$ Ki$$er is available….just a thought ;-)

I’m torn between One and Four.

I was kinda thinking the Overseers, you know, what with Creeks being slave owners and fighting for the Confederacy and all that. ;-)

Ooh ooh! The Washington Grifters.

The Colonists.
