I’m hazy on the language in the Constitution that grants the executive branch power of football stadiums. I’ll have to look more closely at the penumbra.
DC needs the Redskins way more than the Redskins need DC.
Block it with what, the Marine Corpse.
Then I want Cracker Barrel to change its name.
I find the name offensive too. Let’s rename them the REDSKINS because WASHINGTON is so nazi and progressive like...

The Feds actually do run DC. It is not a state.
Brings back memories of teams playing shirts and skins when I was in school.
Here is the thing, however. That a$$ hat in the white hut is from Chicago. The only thing he and I have in common, is that we are both Blackhawks fans, as they won their third Stanley Cup in 6 years. 😆😃😀😎 It is ironic, that he has never suggested that the Blackhawks change their name. I don't want them to, I am just wondering why the Obungler has not mentioned that, but wants the Redskins to change theirs? A bit of liberal hypocrocy?
The Anacostia corridor has the potential to be an extraordinary park/playground stretching through a rapidly rejuvenating part of the city. My preference would be to turn the RFK tract and associated parking lots into a youth sports complex. I don't know how many multi-purpose soccer/lacrosse/football fields it could accommodate, but I'll guess 20 or more. (Think of the Germantown soccerplex if you know the area.) Then add accommodations for kayaking, canoeing, and crew along the river, and tie in the bike paths which will soon push all the way upriver and connect to an extensive network beyond Bladensburg and College Park ... and you have a remarkable sports and recreation asset for the east side.
This is just one of the ideas being bandied about. Fingers crossed.
What does banishing the Confederate flag and changing the name of the Washington Redskins have in common?
Government telling a private business what to do? What country am I in?
Sally is no JEWELL. She is more like a poorly cut piece of glass, not even Diamonique quality.
Have you noticed that nearly every Obama female appointee is a total incompetent and leftist PC ahole? There are one or two exceptions but if you look over the Obie Regime’s female leaders during the past 6 years, you will find total failures from DSH, HHS, SecyofState, Navy leaders, Veterans Affairs, IRS, etc.
I like competent women, no matter what party they belong too, but what I’m seeing with Obama’s choices are total failures.
And just look at the political leadership of Baltimore. Need I say more? DC isn’t much better nor is the leader of the NY City Council. And the list goes on, and on, and on.
Maybe he's got some of those barriers he used when he shut down the National Monuments and Parks.
This story was debunked days ago.
The Redskins are not looking for a new stadium
It'd be a shame to add that to Obama's "legacy."
Nearly every? Name one that isn't?
Have you ever seen an administration that wastes so much time on the wrong $hit? I guess I shouldn’t be surprised at all when everything is handled by Butler Jarrett and the most important important issue for the CiC is which which putter to buy or which links to play on. Forget protecting our borders or repelling foreign enemies. I guess that’s too just difficult and would result in less foreign donations anyway.../s
If the team was black owned he would be out there with a shovel.
Amazing the number of government bureaucrats who openly declare their personal views and confirm their decisions are made strictly and capriciously on that basis.
These people also seem oblivious to the fact that Jan 2017 is soon approaching and this particular crop of PC hacks will be out of power. The NFL and the Redskins will be around much longer.
