Hey, Hey, Hey - the XFL starts in just a couple of years and their teams need names

Sounds like a job for Loungers!

Doesn't have to be associated with a city or area - just a name for the team let the XFL sort out who gets the name

It was a club basketball team at the University of Northern Colorado, named to protest a local high school's "Fighting Reds" moniker.

I remember when they burst on the scene.

Would Trump be their mascot, I wonder.

Edit to add: Makes me think of insults that the British have hurled at Trump.
Loved the latest one: "odious fish fart"
