I get it, we can’t have what we used to have since America moved on.

But can’t we come up with better woke names?

Cleveland is the home of the R&R Hall of Fame. Why not call them the Rockers?

The Commanders is just lame.

The commanders name is lame. Who knew the unopened coke bottle my grandma had when the Redskins won the Super Bowl would be so valuable today.

The Cleveland Steamers would have been nice.
I thought the Washington Football Team was quite the original name.

Sorry. Still don't get it. Why would these names hurt anyone's feelings.
