Wrong.
No one is asking anyone to eat the football team.
If Muslims were offended by the mere mention of Haram animals then they would already be offended by the Eagles, Falcons, (Bengal) Tigers, Lions, Panthers, Jaguars, and probably some others.

Yea, it's all over local media here:
-Members of the Washington football organization at all levels trading leaks for sexual favors from the media
-acting as fixers for players, coaches, and staff to hide affairs and other issues, including substance abuse, then using it as leverage against them
-widespread sexual abuse, boys club that Snyder knew and allowed to exist
-local and national members of the sports media aware and keeping it under wraps because it meant access to the DC sports market
-recent firings and retirees involved
Kapri Bibbs says that Gruden got jealous that he was hooking up with a chick Gruden was hooking up with (a receptionist for the team, apparently the same person in the photo Gruden got in trouble for), leading to him being benched one week, with his replacement missing the block on the hit that took out Alex Smith.

Makes me wonder if the whole name change was really pressure from corporate sponsors or ownership knew a major story was about to leak and trying to get out in front of it with some positive news about the organization to soften the blow.

Makes you wonder how much corporate sponsors themselves knew too

So, the funny thing is that I have been waffling for a few years on becoming a Washington sports fan since I have far more connection to Virginia than SW PA. The hardest one to accept would be the Caps, and I just hadn't thrown myself into it, at all. I'm glad I didn't really make my switch, because I would've been unhappy to be supporting this type of organization. Sounds like I may be able to start rooting for Washington football that is a whole new team (if I decide to start rooting for Washington sports).

Wow, in light of this news, I feel like we should all be in favor of them adopting the name The DC Bureaucrats.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations

Fat stacks of cash could be their mascot.

Nah. It's the politicians doing this sort of stuff, not the bureaucrats.
Though you mentioning bureaucrats gave me an idea. Instead of Redskins, Red Tape!

The rumors almost makes this look tame, but it's not.
It's not as big of an indictment, and it's a shame that it likely will be trivialized because it's not as crazy as the leaks suggested, but it's still a pretty big deal. The fact that 2 of the 3 people accused who still worked there were fired after the Post asked about it and then the 3rd retired hours after they asked to interview him is pretty damning. You have to assume it's true if that is the response.

Washington Ditch Creatures, can be called DC for short? A proper representation of that Disgusting Culture (corporate) there.
