The Washington Love: Politically Correct Names for a Football Team #Redskins #politicalcorrectness #racism #sports #football

The Washington Love


In my last post, I created a list of possible new names for the Washington Redskins, names with insulting stereotypes for white people, as a way to "level the playing field" so to speak.  My thinking was that we should embrace our negative stereotypes, hang 'em out there, celebrate them and own them.  However, that approach may not work.  What we need are names for sports teams that insult no one, are inclusive and conducive to racial healing and are transgender inclusive (choke....yes I'm kidding).

Once the new names for sports teams are in effect, we will enter a new era of love and good feeling, where no one on earth is ever offended or insulted ever again.  Hearts and flowers and ballet lessons will be the new norm, and peace will descend like a chorus of angels singing and playing harps and piccolos.  Generals will beat their swords into plowshares and start pot farms.

Here is a starter list for your consideration:
The Washington Twinkletoes

1.  The Washington Love
2.  The Washington Diversity
3.  The Washington Rainbows
4.  The Washington Hugs
5.  The Washington Inclusives
6.  The Washington Gays
7.  The Washington Liberals
8.  The Washington Che Gueveras
9.  The Washington Renewables
10.  The Washington Free Stuff
11.  The Washington Amnesty
12.  The Washington Peaceniks
13.  The Washington Doobies
14.  The Washington Transgenders
15.  The Washington Twinkletoes
16.  The Washington Carbon Credits

So whatta ya think?  Will this movement towards a lovey dovey new sports franchise work?
