Now that possibility exists that the Washington Nationals could make a brief stop-over in the nation’s capital and then move to “far-flung” places (as the Post puts it in today’s Sports section) like northern New Jersey or Las Vegas, DCist wants to ask you what you think.

Observing the District’s process of luring Major League baseball back to the nation’s capital and then threatening the future of baseball by throwing in a Council amendment that could prove to be a “deal killer,” what do you think?

Have Mayor Williams and baseball supporters been foolish to push the deal when so many people in the District oppose public financing. Has Council Chairman Linda Cropp, perhaps with mayoral ambitions and/or the interests of the city on her mind, been the major culprit to poison the process? Have the city’s activists been overreacting and overstating the threats public financing may or may not pose to the District’s fiscal health? Or are those threats valid?

If baseball makes a pit stop in D.C., who is in fact to blame? Or is everyone at fault, which in the history of the District of Columbia, is very much a real possibility.
