The Obama Administration will not support a new Washington football stadium unless the team changes its name, according to Jonathan O'Connell of the Washington Post. Washington currently does not play in D.C., but there has been a push to get a new stadium approved and built there.
RFK Stadium occupies the site where Washington has targeted a potential new stadium. However, a lack of support from the current administration would be a serious roadblock to the efforts.

Jewell also deals with treaty relationships with Native American tribes.

Don’t give any Democrat, from Obama on down, free tickets to the Redskins games, and see how fast these greedy leftist pigs “oink” and change their position on a new stadium site.
I wonder if they report these “gifts” on their tax forms? Oh, I’m sorry, Lois Lerner and Comrade Koshiken (sp?) are still running the IRS. Never mind!
Their stadium in RalJohn is really nice and not too old. Why would they want to move back to DC?
What makes King Barry think that Dan Snyder would actually want to come back to DC?
Change it to “Red Lives Matter”....that might give him pause.
