Maybe Mara will finally add a cheerleading squad. I wouldn't be against it. |

DC is the nation's capital so no surprise they're taking the lead here. It's the times, like it or leave. (🤔 isn't that what some say?)

They have the Nationals & Capitals so I'm assuming something a little more patriotic. |

Red Tails seems a no brainer.

I like D.C. Liberty ... they need to stay away from anything that insinuates native american culture because if not, then what's the point. |

Why even care or waste even nano-seconds thinking about this? On another note, I think that they are going to roll with the Washington Sentinels. They do have an opening at quarterback, so why not let Shane Falco get a stab at it?

I would love for them to leave the name as is.

The Red Tails were a fighter plane group, right? That seems patriotic enough.
Pigskins also works for me - many still call them the Skins, they had the Hogs back in the day and fans who wore snouts.

It's the Tuskegee Airmen.

They are gonna roll another year with "football team" ? Snyder may think he's being cute and insubordinate but if they do ANYTHING this season he's gonna be stuck with that ridiculous name.

I don't get it.

You don't get why it would be a shaky PR pick when there are literally infinite names available? |

If the zombie perpetually offended sheep get outraged over this name then there truly is no hope left... Little tidbit First pilot to shoot down a jet airplane was someone from this squadron |

Now, if Alabama ever gets an NFL team we may have something here. |

Now, if Alabama ever gets an NFL team we may have something here. How is it a bad name? I agree with MH. It would, from a PR perspective, take them from a questionable name associated with a minority to a great and patriotic name for another minority. But Snyder is to dumb and rich to recognize that. So it won't happen. |

Now, if Alabama ever gets an NFL team we may have something here. Red Tails is a classic reference. It's the friggin Tuskegee Airmen for God's sake. These were great men.
I have no idea why anyone would object. You must have a very low opinion of your fellow man.
