Yesterday President Obama said the Washington Redskins should change the name of their team. I agree. How about changing it to: The Washington Red Ink? The debt ceiling impasse reminds us how enormous our national debt is, and with the Baby Boomers retiring soon, we're about to have a Social Security and Medicare spending frenzy to add onto our already $17 Trillion national debt. And so the Washington Red Ink would be the scariest name in football, as well as keeping part of the original name: the Red part.
They could keep their uniform the same, except change the cameo of the Indian to a red ink well. Then their fans will feel like it's still the same team, but with a more intimidating name.
And as a nickname, they could be called: "The Crimson Tide of Debt".
I have suggested this before, and here's my original post on the matter:

BTW: Here's an article suggesting other ideas, and the first one looks almost like the Chinese Communist flag (Well, they own so much of our debt, maybe it makes sense for the Washington football team's uniform to look like a Chinese propaganda tool?):
