They should just go with Redwolves or War Hogs since none of those are going to piss anyone off or lead to protests.

Redtail Hawk. You can dance around the mascot thing.

Doesn't matter, someone like that will find a reason to complain. Easier just to go with some random animal name where no one but PETA will get upset and nobody gives a crap what PETA thinks anyways.

My take is that 1 teams fans will treat the name respectfully but the other 31 teams fans will make fun of it. I don't want to associate war heroes with something I want to make fun of in jest.

At this point if it's not Redwolves I'll be surprised. Team reporters have been dropping hints that's the name they're going for.

Wow apparently they're also involved in a Racism/sexism scandal. That's why they fired those 2 guys earlier

And to think that over 90% of Native Americans supported the Redskins name. Those insensitive bigots.

Thank God for the white people to rush to their aid and tell them what's oppressive and how they should feel.

Red Wolves are a species of wolf that live on the Eastern seaboard, and were native to the area that's now Washington D.C.

They're a critically endangered species.
