LMAO...HornedMessiah wrote: Well, see that actually makes sense because...apparently there are a lot of Pelicans down there. The brown pelican is the state bird of Louisianna.

So, if they're going to change it (which seems inevitable at this point), they should go something that's authentic and fits the Washington DC area. Maybe one of these:
Washington Windbags
Washington Snakes
Washington Do-Littles
Washington Shutdowns
Washington Embarrassments
Snakes. But remember folks -- you elect these animals. Don't hold it against my city when you elect them.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Hundreds of American Indians and their supporters rallied outside the Metrodome Thursday night to demand the Washington Redskins change the team's nickname, calling it racist and disrespectful.
Carrying flags, signs and staffs and led by American Indian Movement co-founder Clyde Bellecourt, the crowd marched to the downtown stadium to hear speakers before the Minnesota Vikings played Washington.
Nah, it's cool. I know a guy who is 1/16 Cherokee and he isn't offended by it.MelanieMFunk wrote:http://finance.yahoo.com/news/hundreds- ... 06129.html
