Apparently in the US they have some old teams used to have racist af names.

Used to*

Still do

But used to too!

I'm fond of the Washington football team moniker, I feel they should've become the warthogs, could've even tied in military sponsorship the NFL loves so much with the a-10

Idk. I’ve never followed US sports. (I prefer the type of football where you kick a ball with your foot, not wear transformers suits and bang into each other)

You mean soccer? The term coined by the English before it replaced what we called football over here?

Kind of funny to try to dunk on the US for using the "wrong" term and then dunk on yourself by calling the US "America"
