In the realm of 2020’s ‘stupid decisions made in the name of racial sensitivity’ changing the name of the Washington Redskins, while still stupid, is perhaps towards the bottom of the list.
Many have already suggested changing the team’s mascot rather than its name:
Given the direction the NFL is headed these days why not go a step further and require all NFL teams change their names to various potato cultivars? The options are numerous and colorful
making name choices plentiful.
For example how about the Green Bay Jewels:
The Minnesota Purple Vikings:
The New York Roosters:
The Buffalo Butterballs:
The Huston Huckleberries:
The Cleveland Russets:
Or maybe really shake things up and go with the Cleveland Purples:
The mascots practically make themselves.
I think it’s perfect for the NFL who has adopted the motto “Believe in nothing rather than having to do anything.” Why not name your teams after the couch potatoes that have supported you lo, these many years?
