    The Washington Redskins finally changed their name, and all my conservative relatives were like “What a bunch of ridiculous woke bullshit!” Really, guys? You don’t understand why that might not be the best name?

      Ask them if they like this one better, when they say no, act ignorant and ask them to explain why, then sit back and watch them squirm

        I do like that one better actually, I wish they would use this one instead.

        I’m a delicate little white boy with glass bones and paper skin and I want to be represented offensively by the media too!

      I was voting for Washington crackers…to bad that didn’t get chosen… I’m sure that’d have been great for your conservative relatives.

        We could have some fun with this.

        The Atlanta Confederates: Whites-only team, but by league rule they lose every game they play. It’s a matter of pride in their heritage.

        The Boston Puritans: No alcohol or swearing allowed in the ballpark, all games must end before dark, and they never play on Sundays.

        The San Francisco Ferries (already done in the movie Baseketball).

        The New Jersey Hitmen: The team’s mascot embodies all the worst Italian-American stereotypes you can imagine.

        The Florida Men: The most, uh, interesting mascot in the league. Maybe don’t take your kids to the game.

          Honestly, I find baseball to be boring however when your mascot is Florida Man. I would turn out to watch that.

          “For this game, our mascot is a meth addled man who was recently arrested for fighting an gator in Target.”

          “For the next game, the mascot will be a woman who was found drunk, half-naked shooting ping pongs ball out of their vagina outside of a Chuck-E-Cheese.”

          I would love to see this. I wonder which Irish mom they’re gonna have to tell Mikey to stop swearing at Fenway.

          The Florida Men: famous for all their players committing bizarre crimes.

          Rename the Washington Generals to it.

      Yeah but one native American dude said it didn’t bother him so now they have a justification for using the n-word derogatory term towards native Americans.

      It’s bullshit too because now they’re named after the bridge guardians which look awesome. Driving past them always makes me feel like I’m being tested by those statues in the Neverending Story.

      After the the Indians changed their name to the Guardians my dad told me if a team has accepted public funds it should be illegal for a sports team to change their name without public approval.

        Geez, by that logic there should be a public vote on all roster changes, too.
