With increasing talk that “Redskins” is a racial slur not fit for a professional football team, one member of the City Council in Washington, D.C. has what he thinks is a better idea.

Council member David Grosso told the Washington Post that he thinks the city’s NFL team should be called the Redtails.

“You can still sing the song and everything,” Grosso said. “Hail to the Redtails.”

If the mascot becomes the red-tailed hawk, Grosso said, “you can still keep the feather.”
