While I agree the previous name was derogatory, I'm curious where this ends. Vikings are named after a type of people from a specific geographic location. Chiefs... well that should be obvious, especially with the logo. Buccaneers and Raiders promote lawlessness and piracy. Giants are medical condition. Jets promote the use of fossil fuels. Steelers promote a non-renewable resource. Browns are named after a guy with questionable ethics and business practices.

All bad comparisons.
The Washington team name was the equivalent of The Washington Nxxxxxx. Completely racist.

There we have it - The Washington Woodies

Ironically, neither do they play in Washington nor is their corporation an
entity in Washington.
Home field is FedEx Field in Landover, MD.
The "team" is a Delaware corporation with principal business offices
located in Ashburn, VA.

Traveling Profits seems to fit.

I like Lobbyists, that's about right. Anything that acknowledges the well known corruption that takes place in D.C.

I think Washington Football Team is a perfectly fine name for a team. They should just keep it. IMO.

Whatever the new name is, there will be a segment of people who will be outraged with anything and the media will magnify it to ridiculous proportions for 2 days and then drop it and move on to the next story.

Stick with Redskins

Just change the logo to a potato
