I would replace the native American, on the helmet, with a potato.  Problem solved.  Who doesn't like red-skinned potatoes?  Who could possibly find that offensive?

In der bag:
Cleveland Hi-Bore driver, Maltby 5 wood, Maltby hybrid, Maltby irons and wedges (23 to 50) Vokey 59/07, Cleveland Niblick (LH-42), and a Maltby mallet putter.                                                                                                                                                 "When the going gets tough...it's tough to get going."

I think everyone who knows the origin of why that potato is there would be offended -- the purpose of changing the name isn't to make something innocuous out of the same name.

I agree, and I don't think they achieved their stated goal as well as they may think they did.   And I think they were more genuine in their desire to be less offensive (for non-commercial reasons) than Snyder and the NFL are.

The problem with Lady Antebellum changing to Lady A is that there is a Black woman who has been singing in Seattle under that name for over 20 years.

Unfortunately, it is impossible for the Washington NFL franchise to change its name to something that isn't extraordinarily lame. Every good sports-team nickname has been taken several times now.

Besides what is Washington D.C. known for besides politicians? Call em the Swamp Rats. ... Guess you could get a whole bunch of bad extermination jokes off that.

There are lots of scary animals that, for whatever reason, don't seem to show up as sports teams names.  Ringworm is the obvious example.

DC Defenders is a great name for a professional football team.

Isn't DC Defenders what they called that XFL team they had briefly.

Even better, so you don't denigrate either side of the line, would be DC Offensive Defenders.

Yes, that's why I said it's a great name for a team.

That beersnake was a thing of beauty :-(

Yeah, I saw that, but that's a separate issue.  "We want to change our name to Lady A."  "Ok, what's the A stand for?" "Umm, nothing?"  "But you used to be Lady Antebellum.  So isn't that what it stands for?" "Well kind of, but not really.  So yeah, no."

It sings, mostly because they're changing their name because it's offensive.  And now they're changing it as a defensive maneuver.

Missouri Swede... are you missing the Rams in St. Louis?  Or maybe you're a Chiefs fan.  Nothing problematic about "Rams" except when they were in St. Louis there wasn't a ram within 1000 miles!

Cleveland, where they were at some point in their history, is within 1000 miles.  I haven't been to Ohio so I don't know if they have Rams in Cleveland.

The best one I’ve heard so far is the Washington D.C. Unindictable Co-conspirators. Kind of fits for the city.

I'm thinking the western slopes of the Rockies in Colorado.  Maybe there are rams in Shaker Heights???

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By WillieT ·

      26 Nov 24 -  It was not a record breaking round by any means, but rather a simple walking of the back nine today playing TBWB (two ball-worse ball) where the challenge is to play the worse of the two shots played - could be an errant drive from the woods, a tree knocked ball that is 100 yds farther back down the fairway, a nGIR ball as opposed to a GIR….the goal today was to stay no worse than bogie thru nine.  Managed to achieve that goal - bogied 7 holes with one dbl and one par to counter the dbl.  It’s about staying focused and not letting a bad shot or lie derail, but rather be an opportunity.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 208 (26 Nov 24)- Opted to walk 9 today (was the back nine as they had a huge group going off the front) but instead of it being persimmons and blades, I had the regular gamers but made it a TBWB (two ball-worst ball) round.  This really challenges on several fronts - ball striking to be as consistent as possible, course management from non-optimal lies and keeping your head in it as it can be depressing to nail a shot on line-on target and the second rattles the trees right and it’s over 50 yards back and that’s the one you have to play.  The goal was to be no worse than bogie overall (+9).  Finished the round exactly on the number with some solid recoveries, no penalty strokes and only one 3-putt.
