The Washington Redskins finally changed their name, and all my conservative relatives were like "What a bunch of ridiculous woke bullshit!" Really, guys? You don't understand why that might not be the best name?

I was voting for Washington crackers...to bad that didn't get chosen... I'm sure that'd have been great for your conservative relatives.

We could have some fun with this.

The Atlanta Confederates: Whites-only team, but by league rule they lose every game they play. It's a matter of pride in their heritage.

The Boston Puritans: No alcohol or swearing allowed in the ballpark, all games must end before dark, and they never play on Sundays.

The San Francisco Ferries (already done in the movie Baseketball).

The New Jersey Hitmen: The team's mascot embodies all the worst Italian-American stereotypes you can imagine.

The Florida Men: The most, uh, interesting mascot in the league. Maybe don't take your kids to the game.

The Boston Puritans

I would love to see this. I wonder which Irish mom they're gonna have to tell Mikey to stop swearing at Fenway.
