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. While the Obama Administration can't make the ultimate decision on whether a new stadium is built, it can put pressure where it's needed, and there's already plenty making things complicated for the RFK Stadium site.
The National Park Service owns the parcel of land where the stadium would need to be built, and Interior Secretary Sally Jewell told D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser that the NPS was unlikely allow for the construction of a new stadium unless the name is changed, according to the report. Jewell also deals with treaty relationships with Native American tribes.

Fine, let them keep playing in Maryland, and the profits can go to Maryland. I’m sure Maryland’s Republican governor will be happy to keep getting the revenue.
Obama will leave no stone unturned. Ill be SO glad when he is GONE.
Why would the ‘skins want to move back into D.C.? Their fan base is in the suburbs.
Obama will leave no gay flag unfurled.

Right. 0bama who can’t even throw a baseball right is going to venture into the world of professional sports.
They should just pull out of DC all together. I’m sure there are other cities who will gladly be home to the (fill in the city name) REDSKINS.
Native Americans, btw, are NOT ‘offended’.
The king has spoken...
Snyder needs to rename the team, the potato redskins...
Just to stick in Obama eye...
Call them the ForeSkins, Flaming Faggots, Bureaucrat Bi*ches, DIM Losers or Reggies. All would be acceptable to Clown Prince nobama.
