I predict the Washington Commanders.

I kind of like the idea of going old-school and playing without an official nickname, like sports teams used to do over a century ago. Or something super-generic, soccer-style, like "Washington FC".

It's fun to think of cheesy/pathetic names for the team, and to try and make the ownership feel stupid. Which, of course, they are. But the players didn't choose this problem, often have little choice where they play, so it isn't really fair to them to call the team the "Washington Wankers" or the "DC Douchecanoes".

Someone captured a screenshot that the URL showed washingtonadmirals when they were searching for information from the team's public affairs officials. So my money is on that. But every time I will hear the word "admiral", I will think of former NBA star David Robinson, who was the first "admiral" in American pro sports.
