And their glory years ended when that doof Snyder bought the team. That's the main reason people have been suggesting new nicknames that imply maximum suckitude.I think people need to stop throwing rocks. The Redskins won THREE Superbowls to our one. (if we count prior to the SB error the disparity widens). We also had 20+ years of consecutive non-winning seasons.

Red Tails seems like a really bad idea for a name--not because it's not a noble idea to honor true American heroes, but because it's so easily parodied.
What about Washington Potomacs, which references the river and the tribe from the name originates?
For a more patriotic/historical name: Washington Continentals?
Continentals refers to the original founders of the colonies, those were racist slave owners, that would be offensive, so you'll have to cross Continentals off the list of options.
Yankees is a derogatory name ?I do think it is time to changes the name , but I will point out the team name “Yankees” is also derogatory and won’t likely get changed....
some decent names...
Express (not a plural that can be referenced easily in singular form but does represent minority ownership .... FedEx)
Senators (the old baseball team name)
Powhatan (one of the native Virginian tribes that spoke Algonquian
Monks (reference to hall of famer)
Battlers (reference to hall of famer)
Turks (reference to hall of famer)
Diesels (reference to hall of famer)
Yankees is a derogatory name ?
Ive been called a damn yankee before and it wasnt somebody being nice.Yankees is a derogatory name ?
Make for a great nickname for all the other fans and teams: The TailsAmerican indians were a symbol for the United States. I don't understand why we can't have symbols celebrating them. Just like Uncle Ben. The dude was known for growing great rice. I just don't understand the arguments. But since everything has to be rewritten these days, Redtails sounds like the best choice to me. Something will be wrong with that too I presume.
