Washington Braveheats??

The whole issue is TMZ worthy at best.

the "Engine Reds".

How about...

The Washington Assault.

One thing to consider in all of this is that there is only 1 Indian tribe stirring the pot here. I heard an interview with a Coushatta (I think) tribe member yesterday who said that he had no problem whatsoever with the name.

I call it a money grab.

And btw, I am 1/8th American Indian but look more like my French roots with an Italian nose. So I can't relate.

I've read polls that indicate about 3% of Native Americans find the name offensive.

The filing was from a group that has nothing to do with the NFL.

The NFL is not going to let anyone other than the NFL hold a trade marked team name.

... I got an email the other day suggesting they be renamed the "Foreskins" in honor of all the d*ckheads in WashDC ... there was a cute little picture attached, but I didn't think it was suitable for posting,
