(AP Photo/Susan Walsh)Washington, perhaps the nations most reviled city, needs a new nickname for its football team.
Naming opportunities are rife with ridicule, partisanship and humor: Washington Gridlock, Washington Swamp Monsters, Washington Bureaucrats, Washington Subpoenas, Washington Scandals or Washington Pardons.
On the traditional and of course more likely side are Red Tails, Warriors, Generals, Monuments, Senators, Cherry Blossoms, Red Wolves or even Hogs (which pays tribute to an offensive line from long ago).
Since mid June, 14 different trademarks have been filed by people for a potential Washington football team, including Red Tails, Red Wolves, Monuments and a version of Hogs.
Both sides hate it.So that gives the opportunity for a little fun like Swamp Monsters or Gridlock, which Davis likes.
