Virginia is for Suckers: VA leg looking to spend $1B to lure Washington Commanders

I honestly feel like Virginia is just always doing embarrassing stuff. They always feel like the slightly left out striver of the DMV area

He wants to move to VA for estate tax purposes. Pretty simple calculus for him.

Virginia even elected a Republican as governor, unlike Maryland... Oh...

Commanders just lost Anheuser Busch as a sponsor. Hopefully this will make the dimwits in the General Assembly and the Governors office realize a Commanders stadium in VA is a losing proposition.

VA was never truly in contention. Always used as leverage, nothing more. Every 15 years or so.

This may explain why Virginia is cooling to the idea and Hogan said MD won’t compete in a “race to the bottom.”

Snyder may not even own the team when a stadium opens.

The House Oversight Committee is investigating the entire Redskins/Commanders organization, because Congress has authority over any entity given an antitrust exemption.
