If the criteria you base that on is what I assume, Washington would be next.

Imagine that poor football team.

Washington Redskins to
Washington Football Team to
Football Team.

Political correctness: dismantling history and tradition one piece at a time.

Nevermind all this political bullshit, the World Series is starting!

Historians are pretty sure he did a lot of stuff that would at least get him fired pretty much anywhere.

Same with many of the founding fathers.

But aside from starting a new country what they did wasn't all that unusual for the time they lived.

The same may be true for some great civil rights leaders. Whatever.
