Silly provision? Asking for 50% private financing? It is good use of DC's tax revenue to 100% finance a baseball stadium? I guess that is because the city is so well run, and crime rate is so low they have tons of money laying around with nothign to spend it on?
Yes. DC ran off the redskins due to breach of contract (witholding tax revenues).
They have been desperate for years to get a team in there.
Now, if they wanted this provision in, they should said so BEFORE they agreed with the league.
