Some internet sleuthing led to endless jokes about Keanu Reeves and “The Replacements” on Wednesday morning.
Washington’s NFL team is still searching for a nickname after retiring the old one after years of controversy. Trademark issues might be holding up an announcement of a new name. Then there was an unexpected candidate revealed.
A Reddit user found that the same entity that runs “Redskins.com” had registered the domain “DCSentinels.com.” Sentinels was the name of the fictional team in the fictional 2000 movie “The Replacements,” starring Reeves.
Hence, the jokes. “Sentinels” was trending on Twitter on Wednesday morning.
