Washington FC
Seriously I would prefer this the majority of the names I've seen suggested, especially "Warriors" which I dread is what it's likely going to be changed to (loving ugh). Wouldn't mind Bullets either but that won't happen

Washington Redtails would actually be a way for them to honor Native Americans, plus have cool historical connection and keep the color scheme.
My understanding was that Redtails was a reference to African American airmen in WWII, not Native Americans? Either way I think people's attempts to make the new name "honor" Native Americans are really misguided and the best strategy would be to abandon any reference to it. If the team aims to do something good to honor Native Americans, they can do it by following through with the charity they set up, not making them a mascot.

Also kinda dumb because they have zero to do with Washington. Now, if Montgomery Alabama got a team...that'd be a good one.
Well I mean it's supposed to tie into black culture/Chocolate City, etc. and that doesn't really seem that discordant to me. If it weren't for Cleveland I'd advocate for the Washington (Chuck) Browns

I'm honestly not sure which of the jokes this is
I was interpreting it as a play on the running joke in DC that nobody in DC is actually from DC, they all moved here for career reasons
