Some time in the 1970’s the students at Scottsdale Community College in Arizona were asked to vote on a name for their football mascot. They chose “the fighting pink artichoke”. The school administration was not amused, but the name stuck.
Not that bleedin’ soccer is a sport or anything, but we have a “Sporting KC” team in some dang soccer organization or other. Why not “Washington Football” and the same for the rest of the teams? (Although the New York teams play in New Jersey…………._
I do get a little bit tired of having my hometown of Washington, D.C. constantly insulted because of the antics of Republican politicians, all of whom originate elsewhere. Washington is one of the nicest American cities to live in and the people who actually are from here tend to be nicer (and a lot better educated) than you encounter elsewhere.
The name of the Washington football team should be changed to “The Hogs.” There are a LOT of reasons for this. It was the nickname given to their offensive line back when they used to be a dominant team. Their offensive line coach back then, Joe Bugel, who we called the “Head Hog,” just died and it would honor his memory. It has almost endless branding and marketing potential. And team already has a cheering section called “The Hogettes,” made up of some fat, cigar-chomping guys wearing pig noses and drag.
Perhaps they could be named the Native Americans. I lived in OK for 14 yr. and many counties and towns are named after tribes. I lived in Pawnee county, Osage was to the north, Creek was south. Also Choctaw, Comanche, Seminole, Shawnee, etc. What tribes were in the area of D.C. It ain’t that hard folks.
