No Funding For New D.C. Stadium because of Redskins name

1. Can you post the link to the article?

2. There's nothing in the quote you posted that states there would be "No Funding For New D.C. Stadium Because of Redskins Name".

The actual gist of the news is that if the Redskins want to move back to DC (which they've indicated they do), the only feasible place to build a new stadium would be where RFK is. But that's national park land, leased to DC, and Jewell has indicated she wouldn't renew the lease due to the team name. (The lease doesn't expire for a while, but they'd apparently need a renewal before building a new stadium).

There would be a huge protest there.
They should move to StLouis when the Rams go back to Cauliflower.

When JCK announcd he wanted to build a new stadium in DC, he grew tired of every DC politician looking for tribute so he pulled up stakes and moved to Maryland. There were politicians complaining about sitelines, obstructions, "traffic" and sudden zoning problems. When he gave them the finger, they bitched and moaned about the Redskins being a part of the fabric of the city and how it won't be the same and blah, blah, blah.. Now it's just the opposite. Snyder wants to take his money printing business back into DC and they bitch and moan about it.

I hope he moves it to Virginia.

and who owns it?

To be fair, that place looks crappy.

The answer to changing it has always been to go after the cash... Not whining and appealing to people's sensitivity. No one cared enough to do anything real about this for 80 years.

we all suggest new names for the team. Some pretty good ones, too. The old standby, "Foreskins", is still the best. It sort of pays tribute to the old name w/o being offensive and it represents 'lil Danny quite well.

Political Correctness is driving this, nothing else. Whiny sensitivities are at an all time high. #IStandWithSnyder #Redskins

FedEx Field is only 18 years old, too. That's half the age Giants Stadium was when Metlife opened up.

Maybe you should pick up drinking again.

I think perhaps that that has already occurred.

DC has all along said they won't let him build there unless he pays the $50 mil or so to clean the Anacostia river. Which Snyder said he won't do. That's the cities job. He did not recently reach out and get this response.

Do us all a favor and, don't procreate. We have enough mouth breathers in this world.

That place was a dump the day it opened. Kinda like Met Life.

The team should move out of D.C. to any place that isn't run by the Left.

If you need an explination, you're just as backward and ignorant as Blackbeard.

by condemning use of the Redskin nickname as long as that's not all they do. Native Americans have lots of serious problems which might be the reason that they didn't get excited by white folk wanting to change an NFL team's nickname. This is from a PBS publication, but you can verify all this from other sources:

•Native Americans live, on average, over five years less than other Americans. The life expectancy for the general population is 76.9 years. The life expectancy for Indians is 71.1 years. Native Americans around Aberdeen SD can expect to live only to their 64th birthday.

•Native American young people are 2.5 times more likely to commit suicide than the population as a whole. Another study showed that within Native populations, young men are the most likely to kill themselves. In the general population, elderly males are most likely.

•Native Americans have alcohol dependency rates that are three times higher than the national average. Almost 20 percent of all Indian deaths are alcohol-related, compared with less than 5 percent for the general population.

Anyone who gets a sound byte on TV news or gets quoted in a newspaper article about the nickname and what an terrible insult it is to Native Americans but once this story dies out never gives them another thought is no one to admire.

PISS OFF!

There is Political Correctness, then there is Don Trump. Whats in your wallet?

What else would you expect from the biggest mistake in American history?
