These people have never been around liberals. There's a reason the most leftist places in America are lilly white. And these people absolutely hate lower class whites. They know what they're doing. They own voting shares of corporate stock and they push those companies to support every leftist cause. There's a big payoff for them. If it works, they and their woke offspring will become the new aristocracy with unlimited power.
New name the Tamma hawks?.
I'd think they'd be kind of honored by the name to be known as fearsome fighters.
yes, and their fans will spend big $$ to buy new jerseys, ect.
Call them the “DC Reds” as in Commie Reds
Washington 1%ers
I’ve actually been a big Skins’ fan my whole life.
This has been a real gut punch.
Huge part of my life and something I looked forward to all year. Gone. I’m done.
As for tickets..
There was about a 50 year stretch of sellouts at RFK and then FedEx but that ended a couple of years ago.
Disappointing teams and a poorly designed stadium that is not conveniently located along with all the other factors hurting pro-football attendance (ownership, cost of tickets, so many games available on TV, yes, politics) took a toll and I think it was already reaching a tipping point. Snyder had been trying to build a new stadium for years. No place to put it in the DMV or too many political/cost hurdles.
THOUSANDS of seats were removed from the upper deck of the stadium and they still weren’t selling out.
Over the last few years the Skins have lost their home field advantage. Look at almost any game in the last few years and it was +40% fans of the other team. The Skins never had PSLs except for the Club Level. There is nothing making people hold on to their season tickets. You can buy game day tickets for far under face value. Why commit to 8 regular and 2 preseason games at full cost when you can get game day tickets at less than half the cost?
Now that the remaining true fans, and we were passionate, have been told that we were just racists all along, I’m not so sure who would be so fired up to go to, let alone pay for, the games. The Raiders, Rams and Chargers have all moved in the last few years. The team formerly known as the Redskins may be joining them.
To me, the capitulation of the Washington franchise is the cherry on top of the NFL's descent into woke oblivion.
Origin of “red skin” was red body paint indians used when going into battle, not their skin color.
