Stupid imo. The same thing happened with the Baltimore Bullets back in the day. I think the owner just caved to the pressure though.

Actually, I think they were in Washington at that point, and I think that was more of a public image thing than anything else.

I'm seeing a pattern here: Professional sports team based in Washington, DC = Mandatory name change imminent.

 

Perhaps all DC sports teams need to change their names to variants to be PC in DC?

 

  1. The Washington DCs
  2. The Washington D Cs
  3. The Washington Dee Cees
  4. The Washington D Cees
  5. The Washington Dee Cs
  6. The Washington D Sees
  7. The Washington Dee Sees
  8. The Washington D Seas
  9. The Washington Dee Seas
  10. The Washington PCs
  11. The Washington P Cs
  12. The Washington P Cees
  13. The Washington Pee Cees
  14. The Washington Pea Cees
  15. The Washington Pee Cs
  16. The Washington Pea Cs
  17. The Washington P Sees
  18. The Washington Pee Sees
  19. The Washington Pea Sees
  20. The Washington P Seas
  21. The Washington Pee Seas
  22. The Washington PC DCs
  23. The Washington P C DCs
  24. The Washington P Cee DCs
  25. The Washington Pee Cee DCs
  26. The Washington Pea Cee DCs
  27. The Washington Pee C DCs
  28. The Washington Pea C DCs
  29. The Washington P See DCs
  30. The Washington Pee See DCs
  31. The Washington Pea See DCs
  32. The Washington P Sea DCs
  33. The Washington Pee Sea DCs

etc, etc...

 

There's at least another 96 permutations more. They can rename sports teams of schools, private recreational, little league, police, fire, business, summer camp, day camp, after school program teams... Uniformity to names, uniform uniforms... yeah, I went there... they can homogenize and marginalize all individuality and forms of expression. Then they can PC it up another notch by revoking any manner of scoring. There will be no losers, everyone will get trophies just for showing up... just for staying home as long as thought was given to showing up, just for being a fan, just for having heard of the team, just for living in the area, just for passing through the area, just for being on the same continent, just for being on the same planet. Everyone, everywhere, ever, and for all time gets a trophy.

 

PC is the future.

Really??  It's what the Washington Wizards used to be before they changed their name.

Baltimore Bullets (1963-1973)

Washington Bullets  (1973-1995 in 1973 They were called the Capital Bullets, but changed to avoid confusion with the Washington Capitals)

Washington Wizards (1995 to present)
