The Washington Football Team (nee Redskins<\/a><\/strong>) of Ashburn, Va. and Landover, Md. are no longer. They are now the Washington Commanders<\/strong>.

Frankly, it’s been a while since I feigned interest for this blog or otherwise. It’s pretty irrelevant what they are now Commanders , because we can all expect…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

…another 20-30 years of Dan Snyder<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It just doesn’t matter. It just doesn’t matter. It just doesn’t matter. <\/p>“Tripper” Harrison<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

It’s hard to root for a franchise whose owner gets rewarded continuously for failing on and off the field. There is nothing to suggest that he is going to sell the team in his lifetime and he’s only 57 years old. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Snyder spent years proclaiming he would never change the team name. Then, as soon as sponsors expressed concern, he folded in weeks. He finally did the right thing, but for the wrong reason. As bad as Snyder is a football team owner, he’s probably an even worse person.

Th classic take-down that Snyder sued over.

The Synder franchise is alleged to have done terrible things! Even if you ignored all of that remember that they got rattled when an opponent brought heated benches<\/a><\/strong> in for a game!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are better ways to spend a Sunday<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The NFL schedule is now 17 games a season. At about 3 hours a game, watching just the games accounts for over 2 days of a year. Fall weather in the D.C. area is pretty good, plenty of things<\/strong><\/a> to do<\/strong><\/a> that don’t involve watching another poorly constructed Snyder team on FOX’s C-team of broadcasters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, some Virginia politicians want to help Snyder<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Does anybody doing business with Snyder come out better than they went in?

NFL stadiums are white elephants over 350 days a year. Alexandria said no to Jack Kent Cooke Stadium at Potomac Yard 30+ years ago. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
