Well the deal was $35 mil over 7 years. If they “stop paying” (assuming they are even paying in installments) then they are in breach of contract and of course the county can attempt to remove the name from the stadium.
don’t be so sure - my little cousin was working there (until yesterday) and she wasn’t making jack. She’s young, entry level whatever but she was working downtown.
Eh, I can’t really fault a company making these types of moves, even if they are extremely unpopular. The personal stories I’ve heard about working at New Era, however, almost make me want to side with the county executive in this case.
Not that it matters too much in this case, but he did not actually quote Hitler (although I’m sure he probably thought he was.)
The quote is actually from an imagined conversation between “Hitler” and an author who is part of the ‘black israelite’ movement. It’s a fabrication by this author. I won’t go into the black israelite stuff here; it’s pretty out there. Feel free to check it out yourselves though.
well if your doomsday scenario of this runaway slippery slope of wokeness actually occurs then I’ll be sure to give you full credit for predicting it.
and you’re the karen in this thread, not sure how you misused that term so completely.
lol. Never seen more effort put into such a flimsy strawman.
A. No one does the bolded, except perhaps the fellow seniles in your inner circle.
B. How about just calling them Washington when referring to their past? Are there two Washington football teams? Who’s the other one?
Lol. Yes you did miss it again, “again.” You didn’t even address any of the things I mentioned. You’re willfully ignorant. Luckily for you, that’s pretty popular nowadays. Keep fear mongering though, I’m sure you’ll get at least a few converts with this crowd.
and you miss the point entirely once again. Those Native American-derived names are not viewed as offensive. The Redskins are. BTW, the Braves’ “tomahawk chop” chant was phased out for the exact same reason that Washington is facing calls to change their name, so do a least a modicum of research before starting a thread. I know your itching to get back into this but don’t go out of your way to make yourself look ignorant. The calls to change the franchise’s name were coming before “cancel culture” really even became a thing.
”Redskins” derives from the term used to describe bounties put on the scalps of slain Native Americans. If you think that’s okay, then okay.
I mean maybe that’s why I said “presumptive” but if he really rolls in there and doesn’t win the job from Stidham then he doesn’t even deserve the contract he got, horrible that it is.
