If Snyder wants a new stadium in the District let him foot the the cost. If not, let him stay in Landover. Of course that never happens and politicians get nailed to the wall when they oppose icons like the Redskins. Just saying.

If someone can point me to information to the contrary I'd be open to reading it.

Very true. This isn't a team with an old decrepit stadium. It is also one of the top grossing franchises in the world. No need for taxpayer subsidies here. Maybe DS will pay for it out of the goodness of his heart.
