I think 'Washington Generals' would have been better but then they'd probably have to buy/license the name from the Harlem Globetrotters organization. :hmm:

I think that's why Washington Generals doesn't work.
Even I've heard of them in the context of the Globetrotters baddies.

I guess if you're Washington you don't want to have the same name as a 'team' whose literal job is to lose. :lol:

Time for a game fixing scandal to take attention from this utterly boring name!

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.
