Washington Redskins
owner Daniel Snyder is under pressure from Native American groups and others to change the moniker his club has used for more then 75 years.
Here are three alternative names 'More' fitting for a sports team of the US capital.
A.Washington Gridlocks
B.Washington Whistle-Blowers
C.Washington Deficits
A. More-conservative play calling leads to slower play and stalled drives.

players declare victory anyway.
B. Led by franchise players Edward Snowden and Chelsea Manning, the team excels at opening holes and exposing weak defenses.
C. Wins prove elusive for a team trying to outrun its creditors
while paying players with unsecured IOUs and lavish entitlements.
pick one...

Thank you kingdave. I read the article.
