When the rest of the country thinks about Washington DC, just about the last image to pop into their heads is that of the Native American Indian. It's a really stupid team name for that reason alone. Call them the politicians, or beaurocrats, or blowhards. We have the Capitals hockey team. We used to have the Senators. We even had the Bullets, which was accurate at the time. The team name should reflect the city culture. This area has virtually nothing to do with Indians when compared to other US cities. Plus, it's needlessly offensive.
