WishWashington Redskins

After years of hanging on to the offensive, dated name of the D.C. football team, the Redskins, will finally go the way the Native Americans went.  Slowly getting faded out by some old white folks.  The owners didnt care so much that the name has been offensive to the Native American people.  They didnt care so much about the multiple previous attempts to address the name problem.  They did care when the sponsors started threatening to take away millions of dollars.  Let this be a lesson for everyone wanting to make a change.  If you really want things to change the best way is to hit them wear it counts.  Right in the ol' pocket book.  There's nothing that talks louder than money.  We're sooo shocked that human beings would do things for lots of money rather than just because its the right thing to do.  We're just amaized that billionaires like to do things for lots of money.  Crazy, right? (we strained an ocular nerve rolling our eyes so hard)  Was this name offensive when they first decided on it?  Was it just some white men doing something without consulting the people it effected?  We dont have the answers to these questions but we do have some suggestions for the new team name though:

Washington Pigskins - because its just an easy transition.  They dont even have to take down all the old signs just put a big football over the RED part.
Washington 500's -  According to Wikepedia in their last 1234 regular season games (all of them)  They are 603-603-28.  Thats impressively mediocre.
Wershington Pretzels -  Because if they expand their fan base into the mid-west they can wersh away their problems with a lil soap and water.  Maybe Snyder needs a handover?  Also of late, the team has just been a hard, salty thing that has been difficult to swallow with out an excessive amount of beer.
Washington Bureaucrats -  Because they seem like they're working hard but they aint getting anything done!
Washington Trumps.  Because it doesnt matter what it is, that dude just loves to put his name on stuff.
Washington Capitolist - This ones a capitall order.
Washington Seminole Gaming Casinos - Because the only way we seem to be able to make up for kicking Native Americans off of their land is to allow them to have casinos.
Washington "probably should ask and consult the Native Americans before we pick something again"
Washington, George's - Whats more american than that?!
Washington Monuments - Oh, we think that one might be taken.

Names and flags mean things.  They are symbolic and representative of the people that support and promote them.  It is only right that the people have a voice in the decision.  So, just like in your game... there should be no shame in your name.

Fart of the Deal

The belief in equaling out a trade deficit is admirable if you have no idea what a trade deficit is.  Let's take a life example.  Say yo...
