Let's just put this out there for the world to understand now... The folks running the Washington DC NFL professional team, currently referred to as the "Redskins" for reasons that escape the politically correct, are complete idiots.
It's tempting to simply blame the owner, Dan Snyder, and he is the one constant in the clusterf*** that this franchise has become. But he's not handling the day-to-day operation of the club, and blaming just him for the promotional letter which the team sent out to season ticket holders a couple of weeks ago naming all the star players who will be leading the team in 2015...and NOT including Robert Griffin III, ostensibly their starting QB? The man they gave up their draft future for? The man who presumably holds the starting job when camp starts for real in July? The man who IS the face of this franchise? (Be honest: is there ANYONE else on the Washington roster you'd recognize on sight?)
Haven't you just publicly slapped him in the face? Haven't you literally said to your season ticket holders, "RG3 is NOT part of our future"? And...haven't you done so WITHOUT talking to HIM? (As far as anyone knows?)
Now, we see this piece from FTW, where "theoretical back-up" and perennially mediocre NFL QB Kirk Cousins is working out with the coach's brother (MNF guru Jon Gruden) while Griffin is out of contact with his team.
Do you have any doubt who the starting quarterback will be for Washington in September? And...is it possible for Adam Silver to step in and plant some racist material on Snyder and get him out of the NFL?
Maybe the Washington franchise is an ideal one for a Green Bay style arrangement: Sell its stock on the open market and make its fans part owners of the team. Washington's got one of the ten or so most loyal fan bases in the league - Make it work! IT CANNOT BE ANY WORSE THAN WHAT THEY'VE SAT THROUGH THE LAST DECADE!
