Would make more sense to send them to China.

But seriously I hope the announcement is that they will be renamed the “Tyrants.”

Move them to Pyongyang—the virtue signaling would make them a big hit there.

That should be a tagline on every thread.

I watched Duke at 51 hit one off the wall on Old Timer’s Day in NY in 1971. Kenny Holtzman pitched afterward that day, and lost.

NYY was 0 for 3 with me in attendance at old-new Yankee Stadium. Friends who are fans tell me not to come back. :-)

Given it’s Washington.

Could it be the Russians?

Nope.

They sued and some got a confidential settlement a few years back.

This maybe more front office personnel, however.

Alex Santos and Richard Mann II fired for non-football reasons.

Drug Ring?

Watch, they will move to ABQ. The whole Red Tail thing means something different there.

So Big Media can call them the “Trump Tyrants”?

A lot of politicians use the Redskins games for business and pleasure, I'm sure there is a lot to be exposed and some hypocrisy.

They’re moving to Oklahoma. Which means “red skin”.
