My pick would be the Washington Parasites, though the word “Washington” itself is problematic.

The DC Redskins!
The Redistrictors.
“Swamp thangs” might be politically incorrect.
But the song is already written!
I’ve got it!
The Washington Epstein Didn’t Kill Himself.
The Washington Team-To-Be-Named-Later.
That city already has the Ex-Expos and Ex-Bullets. Having the Ex-Redskins fits right in.
And it sounds like despite years of the Woke hitting this issue, they’ve never bothered to do any contingency work on what alternate names are already trademarked, and securing the one they want, just in case. That’s what happens when you make decisions like this one in a panic.
Woke-ington Thinskins.
The Non-Contenders.
How about the Washington Roberts?
As soon as they take to the field, they will advance the ball in the wrong direction?
Heh.
Though I am not an American of Greek descent, I feel wokely empowered to be offended on their behalf at an egregious act of cultural appropriation. The sports apparel sponsor of the Redskins that has been applying the most pressure on the team owner to change the name has itself appropriated as its own name – that of a Greek deity, Nike. This is a doubly troubling crime of cultural appropriation: not just stealing an item of Greek culture, but of Greek religious culture.
I’m sure that all Greco-Americans will join me in rising up against the evil Nike Corporation and demanding that it change its name and identity immediately! And if they don’t, well, fuck ’em, they must be Trump supporters.
Washington Nikes?
Is this for real, that the apparel maker wants them to adopt that name? You would think they would defend their trademark.
Nike is a girl, by the way, but for a bunch of guys to adopt that name, not that there is anything wrong with that!
The other thing, Washington Nikes (need the English-language plural form for a team name) has all kinds of opportunity for ethnic-naming mischief.
The Washingtom Foreskins.
They could call themselves the Washington Nationals?
The other teams in the NFL would like that because after that, they will never win another game?
The Capitol District Tributes? (Not actually a huge Hunger Games fan, but the reference is too good to pass up.)
Name them after the scores they typically lose by and be woke at the same time: The 1619s.
