Video at link. First it was the Washington Senators who left DC to become the Texas Rangers back in 1972. Our nation's Capitol didn't have a major league baseball team for the next 33 years until the Capitols came into being. So now they may be without an NFL team for the next 33 years? Way to go, DC!

Cool, let them move to Oklahoma and be the Oklahoma Redskins.
Most of us around here ARE "Redskins", or at least "part redskin" those whose families have been here for more than a couple of generations, and I daresay we're pretty cool about it... most of us, anyway.

Would the politically correct not sees be happy if the Redskins changed their name to the Elizabeth Warrens?

I’m going to break with the standard FR position on this; the Washington Redskins should change their name immediately.
They should move north to Savage, Maryland.

Here’s an idea...
and, it would be the ultimate comeback to the liberal political correctness crap...
The NFL has been playing around with football in Europe...
so...
if the Redskins were ‘forced’ to move, they should be moved to the UK or some other European location that would welcome them with open arms.
The politically correct crowd would be asking congress and the president to intervene, but, since it’s a business franchise, it would be up to the NFL to decide.

Rename them the Reagans and have a new mascot, the Gipper.
Or
Call them the Foreskins and drive the feminazis crazier than they are.

Well, if the Washington Redskins relocate that will automatically get rid of the disreputable part of their name.

Move them to Richmond, change the colors to grey, and call them the Richmond Rebels. And plant a Confederate flag right on their helmet.
The liberals would lose their shit. And I'd buy season tickets.

You might be younger than me, but the original Washington Senators left in 1961 and became the Minnesota Twins. A few years later, the American league expanded and issued a new franchise in Washington who took the name Senators. They lasted for a while and then moved to Texas and became the Rangers. Now they have the team from Montreal.. We'll see how long that lasts.

Google Lafayette Escadrille.
Maybe DC would prefer one of the original Redskins insignia??

God Bless the truly patriotic, principled stand by the Redskin ownership.
Restores some faith in the integrity of the NFL amid serial, sordid Patriot cheating scandals.
Bravo.

Why the heck do the Redskins need a new stadium? The one in PG County is a good location and not that old. What is it with teams wanting new stadiums every 10-15 years anyway? If they do, let them buy the land and build it themselves, withOUT any taxpayer dollars involved.

Why do the Redskins need a new stadium when their current one has only been open roughly a decade an a half?
