In a terrible twist of fate the Trump administration will Grant DC statehood but the district's name will be permanently changed to The Redskins.

I do not wear this mask to protect me. I wear it to protect you from me.

Some history. The Washington Redskins started out as the Boston Braves, when they played in the MLB Braves stadium (before the baseball team moved to Atlanta they were in Milwaukee and Boston before that.) George Preston Marshall changed the name to the Redskins when he moved the home games to Fenway Park (keeping the theme with an insensitive and racist moniker that played off the Redsox.)

Just to be anal, this is what the team's letterhead looked like at the time.



So if the team chose the Washington Braves they have a history with the name.

I thought Sports Illustrated made a good point, Washington should go a year without a nickname, no point rushing the process.

Unlike the famous Rams of Los Angeles and Cardinals of Arizona. I don't know anything about their ancient histories, but also Giants and Bears and Jets and probably a bunch of others I'm forgetting.

Lose Warpaint, it scared Eric Berry into retirement. Lose the chop, it belongs to Florida State with the Seminole blessing. Lose the drum and don't lean in to the Native American imagery like headdresses in stands. If you have to, rename Arrowhead.

All that said the Chiefs could transition to the Kings or the Monarchs with ease and KC would like that.

If the Chiefs lost their name and logo and just changed it to the Monarchs they'd be the only team with Red, White and Purple. And frankly that's magnitudes of improvement over mustard yellow.
