Redskins stadium in District remains a city dream - D.C. Wire - The Washington Post

One day after the Washington Redskins’ heartbreaking loss at FedEx Field, several D.C. Council members said the body is prepared to consider what it would take for the team to move into a new stadium in the District.

Speaking to reporters at his monthly press conference, Council Chairman Phil Mendelson (D) said the council “would like to see all professional teams that have the name Washington in their name play in the District of Columbia.”

But Mendelson and council member Jack Evans (D-Ward 2), chairman of the Committee on Finance and Revenue, stressed that any discussion about the team breaking its lease at FedEx Field in Prince George’s County would have to originate from either team owner Daniel Snyder or Mayor Vincent C. Gray (D).

A Gray spokesman said the mayor has had informal discussions with team officials and council members, but the city remains a long way from any sort of “formal negotiations” about a potential new stadium in the District.

Amazing that a football town like DC doesn't have a football stadium, yet they used taxpayers money for a baseball stadium that only suburbanites from VA care about.

Reminds me of Dallas and Miami. When it all comes down to it, no matter how much we love it, this is always and has ever been about business. The next football stadium the redskins will have will cost over a billion dollars and Snyder will only pay 40% of it if that.

There seems to be no etymological evidence that the word "redskin" originally meant anything other than "an aborigine with red skin". According to Take Our Word For It, the earliest recorded use of the word was found in a quotation from 1699: "Ye firste Meetinge House was solid mayde to withstande ye wicked onsaults of ye Red Skins."

Most people assume that the word described the natural skin color of the North American Indians. However, there exists documentation that the name "redskin" was conferred upon the native inhabitants by the English Colonists because of the red body paint they wore in battle. Because the 1699 quotation would certainly be referring to Indian warriors, this seems to be the most likely explanation of the origin of "redskin"..
