re: Schefter: Redskins name change likely

going to laugh when the same people who want the name changed then start griping about public land and money going to the new stadium. Can’t ever please these idiots.

This is already a thing. Name change aside there are already debates about what the land RFK now sits on should be used for. I think the agreement with the federal government (who owns the land) says something along the lines of the land has to be used for recreational use or something to that effect. But many are arguing that more housing should be out there instead.

There are proposals of having both a new stadium and housing there.

ETA: here’s just one link that kind of details it. There are many others like it.
