Having said that, I think the Washington Warriors would be a good name.

Historically have there ever been any hobby ramifications to a team changing name? It happens a lot, though perhaps not due to the offensive nature of the team name, but I've yet to see any global redaction campaign because a team name changed. Heck, new merchandise is still produced and sold for loads of defunct teams/team names.
