Shockingly, comedian Sarah Silverman has joined the chorus of people who remain flabbergasted about the Washington football team’s choice of name.
“Seriously, what’s it take to change with the times?” Silverman said on The Late Late Show last night while discussing the Super Bowl with guest host Jim Gaffigan. “It’ll take them about a week to adjust” to a new name, she said, drawing an analogy to her own regretful history of using “gay” as a derogatory term in her act.
Silverman offered two name suggestions of her own, free of charge: The “Pink Poodles” and the “Khaleesis.” But the latter might offend Targaryen-rights groups, and Washington football team owner Dan Snyder doesn’t want to take that chance. He seems like he wouldn’t last long against the Unsullied.
