The DC District !!!  Remove Washington from the name.

I think that has a cool ring to it since the locals know DC as The District

Washington Barry's named after former Mayor Marion Barry who was convicted on crack and soliciting prostitution charges and then was later re-elected after sitting out a few terms.  DC was able to achieve 491 homicides in 1991 under Mayor Barry's helm, giving it the title Murder Capital of the World

I actually like it. Except the part that reminds me of the district student housing on Kernan. It’s the lowest end student housing for unf. It has an abundance of students, drugs, shootings.  So I guess it’s exactly like DC. They should consider this for sure.

Don't really like other names proposed. Warriors is already used by an NBA team. Defenders feels like it was created by Marvel or a MLS team. Red Wolves is just so generic. Redtails seems like an honor, but if they don't do stuff in their memory (museum, documentary, help descendants of those men, etc), it will eventually face same criticism as Blackhawks, Indians, Braves, or Chiefs.

Maybe something more reverential to all military?

Can't believe they really are trying the Washington Football Club now. I'm not sure they will be able to keep it like this because of backlash.

Except it’s “Washington Football Team”.... they really thought hard on this one. Absolutely stupid.

I guess they think they are a soccer team now. Stupid names and loss of traditions incoming. I would have preferred the Beltway Bandits

Should be Washington Sellouts.  Has nothing to do with tickets at their stadium.

How about the Washington Swamp Monsters? They could ask fans to vote on the most corrupt politician to caricature as the mascot every season.

DC could be on to something. Change EVERY team name to the CITY Football team...as to not offend anyone. But then that might offend people who never could make it onto a team...??‍♂️

I actually thought about this very thing becoming a thing in the not too distant future. In Ozone I believe someone posed the question, "What happens when someone is offended by the names of the Raiders or Vikings or the Browns" (obviously this person was either being silly or didn't know the Browns were named for Paul Brown).
But it stands to reason actually... if cancel culture and this weird turn that America has taken in being offended by everything and anything (or not actually being offended but wanting to control thought and speech a la 1984) who is to say that these team names won't be offensive one day? What if PETA comes for our Jaguars? Or a certain section of America hates Patriots (I mean we all hate the team, but the name).

I would not be surprised if in 15-20 years the NFL is represented by Washington Football Team. Jacksonville Football Team. Los Angeles Football Team A and Football Team B.

Of course I imagine I will have stopped watching by then. Football in 20 years will most likely no longer look or feel like the football I grew up watching or even the product we see today.
