Don’t you get the sense that most of the knobs would love to rename the whole fucking country Reaganlandia?

[jasper]

Connection with football? Because of a bad movie he was in?

[trippin]

Excellent idea! They’re a bunch of freakin’ losers.

[liberalrefugee]

If they changed the name to the Reagans, maybe they could change the logo to a confederate flag. I mean why stop at just the name?

Google “Reagan Mississippi” if you don’t understand.

Any further complaints would smack of political partisanship. …

But changing the name to “honor” a third-rate actor who actually did commit crimes while in office is not political partisanship ??

[harry_r_sohl]

It’s halfway to the name they deserve - the Washington Douche-bags.

[sylhines]

Using that logic why not Washington Pale Faces?

The Brady Bill says “Hi!”

“The political left’s reaction to their game-ending fumble would be priceless.”

Mikey must have forgotten this:

Why not name a football team after the president who has done more to harm this country than any other president?

[grubber]

From a racial epithet to a political epithet.

Awesome idea, since the NFL works by a very pure form of Rich-Guy Socialism. And “Socialism for Rich Guys and not for Poor Folk” was a Reagan Commandment.

Washington Rushmore’s

Why not the Washington Irvings?

The problem, of course, is that St Ronnie is on his way to excommunication from the Lesser Church of the Rightwing Nutjob. The dude compromised (!) with Dems on legislation and raised taxes multiple times. Apparently, he even shared the occasional beer with Tip O’Neil. Clearly, a false prophet.

[dv01]

Don’t lose your head.

Along the same line, why not the Washington Iran-Contras after Reagan’s most memorable accomplishment. Or, if they want a name that honors Republicans and characterizes the team as well, they could go straight to the Washington Losers.

[rich_in_nj]

Why not just change the name of the city too and cal them the Reagan Reagans?

Or change the name of the league to the Reagan Football League?

Or change the name of the country to the United States of Reagan?
