The team is looking to move to a new stadium in the near future, but their relocation from Maryland to the RFK Stadium in D.C. now hinges on the organization’s willingness to change its name, The Washington Post reported on Wednesday.

“There is no viable path, locally or federally, for the Washington football team to return to Washington, D.C., without first changing the team name,” he said.

So third stadium in a few decades now?

This seems like a dangerous game of chicken for DC.

The frick does the Redskins team name have to do with George Floyd?

I would never change it now, just out of spite.

DC is run by a bunch of clowns. Snyder isn’t folding to their pressure. FedEx is already in one of the worst locations imaginable so it can’t get any worse I hope they move the stadium out to Loudon or eye the piece of land next to MGM.

The Redskins have several options outside of DC proper.

Being federal land also means more complications. I think the property lease where RFK is says something like it has to be used for recreation (I’m paraphrasing), but many are arguing for changing that so housing can be built there. Some proposals have included both a stadium and housing.


Correct. The land RFK is on is owned by the National Park Service I believe.

I would look at land near National Harbor or Tysons Corner/Seven Corners/Fall Church area,

They’ve been doing this for a while. The more dc becomes transplants and less citizens the more likely this is to stay in perpetuity. The fans and locals want the team back. But legislators are blocking it over the locals wishes.

The eponymous saint led a crusade, so clearly he was racist against Muslims. So we should bend to them since they clearly can't choose to live anywhere else that wouldn't offend them.
