Feds to Dan - You can't play ball in DC until...

Once again, the Interior Department takes a strong stand against racism. In the early 1960s, the Interior Department of the Kennedy Administration informed George Preston Marshall, owner of the DC football team, that they would not renew the lease on federal land beneath Griffith Stadium until Marshall integrates his team. Marshall was the last NFL owner to integrate his team.

The Obama Administration's Interior Department informed the DC Mayor and the pro football team that it would not grant a lease on federal land beneath RFK if the pro football team wanted to move back to the RFK site. The name would have to change. This is a bold stand. Hopefully, it is one more pressure point to persuade Mr. Snyder to change the name.
