AFC East.

Bills - Glorifying a gun-carrying white guy who brought a large mammal species to the brink of extinction. How is this happening in the 21st century? This one's easy. Let's honor the victims instead with Buffalo.

Dolphins - The next generation can tackle the intellectual and cultural property rights of animals. And dolphins are smart enough that they can file suit if they don't like it. Dolphins stays.

Jets - This one seems easy unless you've ever lived in a country that was bombed by jets. We can remove the war aspect and keep the wondrous travel aspect alive with a simple change to jetliners. But how does 9/11 fit this narrative? I don't like it. Let's move from the technology to the experience and go with Travelers. It matches the international flavor the city. (I guess you could also go with Immigrants in that regard, but New York was mostly European immigrants, so that's a soft no.)

Patriots - Obviously too political. The name has been co-opted by the far right. And patriots are also known for following founding fathers, many of whom were slave holders. (Maybe not so much in Massachusetts, but you get the drift.) And these people framed Native Americans for the Boston Tea Party. No thank you. Boston's identity is through history, so we can hearken back to the past with a name like Redskins or Beaneaters. The more I think about it, probably not Redskins so let's go with Beaneaters. It's race and gender neutral.
