What current team changed its name twice in 1971? This team used one name thru the 1970 season, switched to a new name in the offseason, then switched to another name a month later (which is still the franchise’s name).

New England Patriots. They were the Boston Patriots from 1960-1970, switch to “Bay State Patriots”, and switched again a month later after realizing the Bay State Patriots would be shortened by some to the “B.S. Patriots”.

I can think of the Jets. Would Giants qualify since they are more of a fictional people and not real people?

If redskins are not humans then what are they?I think giants,jets and sea hawks,They say they are Ospreys but Ospreys are not sea birds and are only called seahawks by Seattle fans.

I am going to back pedal.After some research,Ospreys was once called seahawks and seaeagles.Sounds funny to me because they have been around here for ever and I have never heard them called seahawks.They are the only member of the pandionidae family.I guess a fishhawk is a real bird.That only leaves Giants and Jets.I dont quite know what Joe means redskins are people,awesome, unless he doesnt think they are people.Maybe he is correct and Redskins is fictional like the Giants.
