Washington owner Dan Snyder has been lobbying the Maryland legislature to permit his organization a sports gambling license. 
Unsurprisingly, Snyder is lobbying the Virginia legislature as well, according to Erin Cox and Ovetta Wiggins of the Washington Post. Per the Washington Post report, Snyder has built some momentum towards a bill’s passage. The legislature will be voting on two sports gambling bills on Monday, but it remains unclear whether either will pass at this point.
Obviously every NFL team would benefit greatly from a gambling license and Snyder would surely be happy to create a new revenue stream for his organization. Of course, Snyder has yet to show much competence on the football side of his team ownership, however, it is hardly new for an owner to consistently prioritize financial returns to football performance.
Going forward, if Snyder were able to obtain a license, other ownership groups would surely try to emulate his tactics. The league may also step in and attempt to adjudicate if teams with licenses have to share revenues with teams in states with less amenable legislatures.
If he only put this much effort into his football team.
Head injuries for the athletes. Debt and suicide for the fans!!!
Props to Dan Snyder for figuring out another way to profit when his team can’t cover the spread.
Or win more than a handful of games. Few owners do worse. But hey, maybe he can suck a few more $ from the common man.
Fair trade: Name Change for a Gambling License.
As a fan, not opposed to a name change if we come up with something better! I like Redskins and the burgundy and gold though. If someone comes up with a better option, I’m all for it! Hopefully we’d keep the colors.
Changing the name Redskins to appease the advocates of political correctness is absurd. The next team targeted would be the Saints because that name might offend non Christian fans.
Well yeah of course its crazy but its really not that great a name or logo.
I wonder if Danny boy noticed how much better the DC Defenders looked than his Redskins.
Love how he will end up caring more for this and the money from it than actually putting a winning team on the field
Maybe change your racist team first
