But let's suppose the team does change its name. What should it be changed to?
Sports teams in Washington have borne various names, such as the Senators (MLB), Nationals (MLB), Wizards (NBA), Mystics (WNBA), Capitals (NHL), and United (Soccer).
Considering the popularity of Congress at this time, I don't envision the football team being called the Senators.
What about the Lobbyists? Well, there's a lot of these there, but hard to sell for fan loyalty.
All in all, the best I can come up with is the Washington Sentinels, a fictional team name from the Keanu Reeves - Gene Hackman movie, The Replacements.
And, while they're at it, choose professional strippers as cheerleaders. Here's a clip of their routine from the movie:
A great scene!
