PROPOSED WASHINGTON REDSKIN NEW NAME & FIGHT SONG

As the name "Redskins" no longer appears to have the approval of the world community, the Washington Redskins must bow to world opinion. Although owner Daniel Snyder feigns rigidity on the issue, everyone knows that he is a "paper tiger." The moment his wallet is seriously threatened, Dan Snyder will acquiesce and solicit a new name for his team.

With this in mind, I, AmbulanceChaser, a man who has been accused of being a "spiritual Dan Snyder" by my enemies, propose a suitable new name. It is the "Washington Red Hawks."

The new fight song for the Washington Red Hawks football team will be the following:

"Hail to the Red Hawks!
 Hail, Birds of Prey,
 Red Feathers on the Warpath,
 Fly to Victory!

"In the Sky the Fierce Red Hawks
 Do fly their Dread Patterns,
 On the Ground their Foes
 In Fear and Worry Scurry!

"They Flee but Cannot Escape
 The Red Hawks Fury,
 With Steely Talons Another Foe
 Is Tackled, Subdued and Beaten

"With Glorious Victory in Their Grasp
 The Red Hawks Crack a Grin,
 They've Seized Another Win,
 Whoo Can Defeat Them?
 
"Hail to the Red Hawks!
 Hail Dread Predators!
 Birds on the Warpath
 Let's Cheer for Old D.C."

That song will be a noble expression of the fighting valor of Washington, D.C.'s professional football team, the Washington Red Hawks.


 

REDSKINS

I have been meaning to make a comment about the Redskin quarterback, Donavan McNabb, for some time. He was an exciting quarterback to watch. He threw the long ball a lot. He scrambled for dear life. His team won or lost about the same number of times. If his receivers were more skillful, his completion record would have been very respectable.

Donavan McNabb looked rather like Sonny Jurgenson, whose tenure at DC was mostly as an air-ball loser. Washington fans loved Sonny. This never was the case with McNabb.

Parenthetically, I expect that Dan Snyder will soon rename the Washington Redskins the "Washington Reds." If the team ever developed a great "front four," it could be dubbed "the Red Menace." With Mr. Leonsis' approval, the Reds' fans could "rock the Reds."

My personal favorite, as a team name, is "The Washington Redskinks." That way, the team fight song would still work:
                "Hail to the Redskinks! Reptiles on the move! Cold-blooded critters, fight for old DC."
