Five New Names That Can Honor The Redskins History And Appease The Mob

The Washington Redskins released a statement today saying they will "undergo a thorough review of the team's name" as financial pressure mounts from sponsors to change the name of the franchise that has stood since 1932.

"In light of recent events around our country and feedback from our community, the Washington Redskins are announcing the team will undergo a thorough review of the team's name. This review formalizes the initial discussions the team has been having with the league in recent weeks," the statement said.

Financial pressure has been mounting via sponsors and climaxed today with stadium naming rights sponsor FedEx requesting the team change its name. Pepsi, which signed a 10-year deal in 2011 with the NFL that pays roughly $90 million a year, has also requested the team change its name.

Add it all up and it appears the Redskins won't make it through this round of social justice outrage and the team will be changing its name. At this point imagine the uproar if Daniel Snyder doesn't pull the plug. He's trying to get a new stadium, FedEx says change it and Pepsi is pretty much sliding into Roger Goodell's DMs saying it's time for the Redskins to go.

Now start thinking of directions the Redskins can go here to appease the SJW mob.

How about some off-the-wall name ideas. Loosen the mood around here on a Friday when people are trying to enjoy 4th of July weekend and not stroke out.
