151 Best Political Fantasy Football Team Names (Curated & Ranked) + Generator

Some people choose to keep their politics separate from the rest of their life.

However, if you follow politics as closely as you follow football and are loud and proud about your political opinions, you might want to combine your passions and choose a political name for your fantasy football team.

After all, some would say that sports have always been political! For as long as leagues have existed, fans have cheered and booed politicians for making appearances at games or bringing luck (bad or good) to the team.

And, in fact, the Super Bowl is only able to air on television because of an intervention by Congress that exempted the NFL from certain antitrust laws.¹²

How to Create Political Fantasy Football Team Names

There’s no shortage of inspiration for political fantasy football team names — you have decades of the sport and centuries of political history to call upon!

If you’re not into any of the ideas on our list, consider the following tips, which we used to create our list:

• Look into major political events and scandals. Political events range from world-changing and significant to so silly you can’t believe they’re real. The more ridiculous the event, the funnier the team names you can make from it will be!
• Use political and football lingo. Incorporate terms like “campaign,” “caucus,” and “incumbent” from the political world or “end zone” and “huddle” from football.
• Use the names of political or sports figures. If you have a favorite (or least favorite!) player, coach, president, or founding father, you can use that person’s name in your fantasy football name. Poke fun at the person (“The Donald’s Combover”) or show reverence (“Abe’s Honest Ones”); the tone of the team name is up to you.
