Dolly Parton-inspired fantasy football team names to pay tribute in 2026

Best known as the "Queen of Country," she built a life that extended far beyond the constraints of the music industry. Sure, Parton was a singer and songwriter. She was also involved in movies, shows, charity, business and so on. Despite being everywhere, she appeared to be one of the only people with a seemingly unanimous approval rating.

That was until the news of her passing at the age of 80 rocked the globe on Tuesday, Aug. 25. Tributes have poured in from every corner of the world since then, an indication of the impact she left during her eight decades on the planet.

Some have been quick to put her music on repeat. Others have watched old movies or picked up her baking mix from the store, but what about the football world.
