The Washington Redskins have been one of the NFL's most succesful franchises.  However their name and mascot have been a been a controversy for years.  While it's wrong the Skins have yet to make a change, from the looks of things it's only going to get worse.

The NFL has announced the they will go into even more expansion and the names of the team mascots are getting worse and worse.  Here's a look a what they're considering:

The Bronx Big Booties:  New York will get it's third franchise in the NFL. Right now the mascots being considered are Bronx native's everybody's favorite Puerto Ricans Jennifer Lopez and Fat Joe.  Word is J-Lo's got the edge.

The Greensville Golddiggers: This franchise is still in the developmental stage.  Word is Robin Givens and anyone married to an NBA player are being considered for the mascots.

South Carolina Sellouts:  This could get confermed any day now. Right now the leading candidates for a mascot are numerous black republicans. We hear Alan Keyes is in the lead.

That's it for right now. While the list is small it's a big scandal waiting to happen.
