The Brave Washington Redskins
In 1932, the Boston Braves became a part of the National Football League. They became the Redskins in 1933, and in 1937 moved to Washington to become the Washington Redskins that still exist today.
Valued as the second most valuable franchise in the league according to Forbes, the Redskins are worth about one and a half billion dollars. The only team estimated more valuable is the Dallas Cowboys.
The Washington Redskins have been to the NFL Championship games eleven times. Six of those appearances were pre-Super Bowl championships, two of which they won. They have been to the Super Bowl five times, winning three of those. Recently, the Redskins have not been performing as well as hoped, prompting the firing of their head coach and sending them on the hunt for a new leader.
Throughout their history, controversy has plagued the Washington Redskins, first with their decision not to integrate their team until the federal government threatened to take action. The team was eventually integrated and no such problems have arisen since.
There was also the Native American mascot controversy. Certain groups decided that the mascot, logo, and name of the team are degrading to true Native Americans and filed a lawsuit to force them to change their team name. Opponents of the lawsuit argued that the “Redskins” tradition was meant to symbolize the strength and honor of the Native American, but the groups were not satisfied.
Polls taken at the time showed that the opposition was a small minority, with a vast majority, as much as 91% according to one poll, had no problems with the mascot and did not care if the team kept it. The lawsuit was not successful and neither were subsequent attempts at appeals and other lawsuits. One suit took it all the way to the Supreme Court which refused to even hear the complaint. To this day, they remain the Washington Redskins, complete with their logo.
The official stadium of the Washington Redskins is FedEx Field. Located in Landover, Maryland there is seating for more than 91,000 people, making it the largest venue in the NFL. At times, the waiting list for season tickets has extended to more than ten years, and the Redskins always have high attendance. Despite its size and high sales, the stadium has rated fairly low in comparison with other fields in the NFL and as of 2007, there were reports of talks between the owner of the team and officials in Washington D.C. to have a new stadium built, returning the team to their home.
Any time you head to the Washington area, be sure to drive over to Landover and catch a Redskins game. It’s great entertainment for the whole family from one of the oldest professional football teams in America.
