Law professor David Bernstein has a suggestion for renaming the Washington Redskins. I like it.
Bernstein writes:
I agree with Charles Krauthammer that the Redskins should be renamed out of common courtesy. I also think the name should reflect something unique or at least prominent about the team’s metropolitan area. You can call the team the “Lobbyists,” the “Government Contractors,” the “Domestic Spies,” the “Corrupt City Officials,” the “Partisans,” the “Thirtysomething Housemates,” the “Pork Barrels,” the “Unpaid Interns,” the “Tax Collectors,” the “Washington Waste, Fraud and Abuse,” the “Permanent Bureaucracy,” the “Red Tape” or the “Washington Gridlock.”
