The Commanders would put up as much as $2.5 billion, and the District would provide up to $850 million...

And by "the District" they mean "taxpayers".

I thought we were done with this woke garbage. Those are the Redskins. My grandfather smoked Commanders.

It’s actually kinda amazing to see a team actually have to put up some of the money to get a stadium built. Usually they just threaten to leave, and the city does whatever it has to do to get it built.

“Bring Redskins back otherwise I couldn’t care less.”

They keep telling me woke is done but my TV commercials say otherwise. Blacks and Asians married everywhere. Watch them eat, go to luxury hotels, and hang out with their rich neighbors.

Washington was a favorite, but now I despise them. Although I barely watch the NFL. In baseball, I would root for the Tokyo Dodgers over Cleveland, after they became the sport’s wokiest franchise.

And where does the “city” get money?

This “city” is one for which Congress has the power to legislate “in all cases whatsoever”.
