Do they really need until 2022 to decide?

68.75% of NFL teams have idiotic names.

Carolina "Panthers"...really? Has a panther ever even existed in this area outside of a zoo in the last 100 years? Also it has been used already. FAIL

Cleveland "Browns"...what's a brown? Can brown even be a noun? FAIL

NY "Giants"...really just a giant mystery as to why that is a good choice. FAIL

Cincinnati Bengals...see "Carolina Panthers". FAIL

So that bar isn't that high folks. Choose something and go with it.

How about the Washington Capitol Raiders? Everybody will be confused when they play the Las Vegas Raiders. It's so dumb that it is kind of awesome!
