Ouch, AP! (https://twitter.com/AP_NFL/status/1488864828223537157)

The new name unveiled Wednesday comes 18 months after the once-storied franchise dropped its old moniker.

The GQP can't stop talking about the Commies, so it's almost a perfect name for a DC team

on behalf of both myself and my son, i'd like to say that "The Washington Salamanders" would have been a much, MUCH cooler name.

Co-signed. Although Salamander resort has gotten a little shabby in the last few years.

Attorneys general for Virginia and Washington, DC, launch separate investigations into Washington Commanders’ financial dealings (https://www.cnn.com/2022/04/27/sport/nfl-washington-commanders-attorney-generals-investigations-spt/index.html)

"The investigations come after lawmakers in Congress laid out accusations against the team and executives including Snyder last week, including that they “may have intentionally withheld millions of dollars in refundable security deposits owed to fans, and concealed revenues that were owed to the NFL as part of the League’s revenue-sharing agreement.”"

tic toc, tic toc snyder...

D.C. attorney general sues Daniel Snyder, Commanders, NFL (https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2022/11/10/snyder-attorney-general-lawsuit-commanders/)
The office of D.C. Attorney General Karl A. Racine (D) said Thursday it filed a consumer protection lawsuit against the Washington Commanders, Daniel Snyder, the NFL and Commissioner Roger Goodell, accusing them of colluding to deceive and mislead customers about an investigation of the team’s workplace to maintain the franchise’s fan base in pursuit of revenue.

The office of D.C. Attorney General Karl A. Racine (D) said Thursday it filed a consumer protection lawsuit against the Washington Commanders, Daniel Snyder, the NFL and Commissioner Roger Goodell, accusing them of colluding to deceive and mislead customers about an investigation of the team’s workplace to maintain the franchise’s fan base in pursuit of revenue.
My initial question on this was “how do DC residents have standing on this” and the ESPN article attempts to answer:

Racine said his office has jurisdiction to sue because the District of Columbia's consumer-protection law is broad and covers any material misstatement that a business or merchant makes that could affect consumers in the district. He said the district is filing a civil complaint because his office does not have criminal jurisdiction on the matter.

This seems tenuous at best to me but I will allow one of the board’s actual attorneys to opine. Perhaps HoyaSaxa will take some time off of train law and reappear and give us some insight from London!

He is extremely polarizing. I think he’s refreshing — this particular comment aside. “Premature snapulation” and “Orgy in the end zone” are first ballot HoF calls.

Absolutely ruined the franchise and pocketed a profit of over $5B.  Pretty good deal.
