Addressing the controversial “Redskins” name may be the least of Washington football’s worries. Multiple local writers have dropped hints of a highly anticipated story that could be troubling for the franchise. What that story is, is anyone’s guess outside of the know.
Rumors have hinted to a huge anvil that at the very least expose misconduct and ethics throughout Dan Snyder’s franchise. Even national media such as Pro Football Talk have picked up on the scent brewing. The only possible solid crumb dropped early Thursday morning.
According to NFL insider Josina Anderson, lawyers are involved.
She didn’t go into elaborate details. But Pro Football Talk has mentioned the Washington Post is supposed to be dropping the anvil sometime this week.
The vague hints from the media have left Washington fans speculating while waiting for the story to eventually drop.
Are the firings of two front office executives, Alex Santos and Richard Mann II related to the story? Is the retirement of play-by-play voice Larry Michael related? What’s taking so long for the story to drop?
Sports Illustrated Albert Breer has an ideal suggestion to why.
For the past two weeks the name of the team has been the biggest story in the NFL. However, the next big story about the Washington football team may be even bigger.
