Let’s not kid ourselves. It’s not a matter of if, but when and to what the Washington Redskins will change their name to. Odds are from SportsBetting and all odds based on $100 per bet. Hence +1000 would be the same as 10-1.
The Presidents seems like a logical favorite. Some media organizations have suggested Warriors, which is illogical considering Marquette changed their name from that because of the alleged negative connotation. Rule out the Jeffersons. Unless we are talking about George and Weezy, protesters have already targeted Thomas Jefferson statues, so that name is all but certain to be ruled out. No chance on Roosevelts either.
The Kings, in honor of Martin Luther King, is the pick at 5-1. The pressure from the NFL will be enormous. Pandering or not, that is the most likely choice and the official bet of OffshoreInsiders.com
