[levitate]

That's even more racist than the current name

They literally founded the country though...

I didn’t say the Washington Discoverers or some shyt...

Conflate founded and discovered, brehs...

That’s a real distinction but I’d steer clear of bringing any kinda “my country tis of thee” type of energy into the new name.

Just get that Redhawks or Redtails shyt going.





They need a rebrand anyway for all their fukkery over the past decade.

On second thought...maybe breh was right.
I can see how Founders could be insulting as well. I mean...just coming in, decimating the local population, and “founding” a country that was tribal land.

that’s what I’m saying . Just steer clear of that shyt . I still believe there is a distinction semantically , but either one is just a no go ... still very insensitive (and low key offensive) , especially considering that the goal here is make this right.

Washington Atomic Bombers?
Washington Bomb Atomicallys?

Who said anything about discovered?

The founders were comprised of slave owners which is why that name is idiotic. The whole point of changing the name is because it's racist but you want to name the team after racists.

BRING BACK THE WASHINGTON BULLETS

That Would Be A Whole Other Issue, It’s The Reason The Bullets Changed The Name In The First Place

Are The Cleveland Indians And Kansas City Chiefs Safe? lol
