    I always liked the name of the NASL team back in the day, the Diplomats. Easily abbreviated to Dips. (Buy the Dips!)
    Ambassadors couldn't work because it's too long and doesn't have an easy abbreviation.
    Admirals might work. Would be a nice shout out to the Naval Academy.
    If we're going to be really authentic: the Lobbyists.

    Maybe he'll hyphenate it, like a marriage. Washington Redskins-Diplomats

    4 Little Girls is great. I don't think I've seen a Lee movie I didn't at least like. Classical theatre geek me loves Chi-Raq, but X and Do The Right Thing will always be my favorites of his work.



    I used to roll my eyes at Medea until I realized my 'hab kids always asked to see the latest Tyler Perry movie. They wanted and needed someone to tell them to say "please" and "thank you," someone who put parental love over other peoples' definitions of dignity, someone who saw life as more than something to be gotten through, someone who cared if they went to church, and someone who understood what it meant to want to be bad. She represented the old school grandmamas they saw as missing from their lives. If I ever meet Tyler Perry, I'm gonna thank him for putting shape and sound to what my clients didn't realize they missed until they saw it.

    James Harden going with "love us" would be pretty quality.

    Washington Generals would be so appropriate. White, a bunch of stiffs, lose all the time.

    Bring everything full circle by bringing back the DC name that should have never been replaced. 4DDC06FA-0312-45B4-825F-0CF08D1200AA.png
