Red Tails

Just saw a good suggestion for changing Washington's NFL team name. Red Tails, after the WWII Army Air Corps all black squadron. Keeps a hint of the "red" and yet aligns with many of their players desires.

1. I like it. How about The Capitol Red Tails? n/t

2. Red Bottoms is the name they deserve

3. I like it, whether for the airmen (good because dc was the last team to integrate)

Or even red tailed hawks, which we have here, though they’d probably go with Red Hawks.

Downside with Red Tails is the inevitable “turned tail and ran” headlines.

Original name was the Boston Braves, which doesn’t help.

Snyder already owns “Warriors” so that could happen.

We seriously need a change to break the curse (though the curse is probably Snyder).

However, he famously said he’d NEVER change the name and said you could put never in all caps. So I hope he has to!

4. Wonder if the kc chiefs are considering a name change..

How about the kansas city bombers?...

5. The compromise

Or maybe the "show me's".
