Seriously, as far as I know, the D.C. Council does not have the authority to demand that the Redskins organization disassociate itself from D.C. by removing the word "Washington" from the team's name.

Dan Snyder is adamant that he will "NEVER" change the name of the team and I'm betting that he means the "Washington" part, as well.

Agreed about the DC Council. Maybe PG where the stadium is, or Ashburn where the headquarters are, but DC doesn't have any leverage or hold over the name "Washington". As alot of stuff is, the DC Council act is just political showmanship...

The DC Council is sadly acting as representatives of that community.

The Skins don't play in DC anymore, makes sense to change the name to Maryland or Virginia, so as not to degrade themselves and the fans by association with idiots like the DC council.

Not much news but some 2nd year qb is getting hitched.
