Another suggestion for a name for the Washington football team

Now that it has become de rigueur [= you have to do it. Poor Len.] to spell "black" with a capital B -- Black -- when referring to people we used to call Negroes or Colored, I have come up with another billiant idea -- the latest in a long line -- for a name for the NFL Team Formerly Known As Redskins.

This pure genius because it reflects the diversity [or lack thereof? Ed.] in today's National Football League and redresses the complaint of Colin Kaepernick and his fellow Blacks that they are not being shown enough `spect by the owners, the meeja, the public, and of course Still-President Trump.

I thought about "Washington All-Blacks", like the famous New Zealand football team [Actually they play rugby! Ed.], but found that name refers to their uniforms, not to the colour of their skins. The Washington team is Blacker than they are! So "All-Blacks" is out... and my suggestion is... wait for it...

The Capital Bs! Geddit?! Although the football team actually plays in Landover MD, Washington is the nation's capital, right? [What happened to Richmond? Ed.] And "Bs" is a capital B, made plural! Brilliant!

And yes, I even found a logo which will look perfect on the side of a black helmet or the shoulder of a black jersey... although visually it would be much better to have white (no capital) helmets and jerseys.

To the owners and management of the Team Formerly Known As Redskins... You're Welcome!

Footnote from Poor Len Canayen: Walt, didn't you copy that logo from a basketball team? Kinda looks like a basketball....
