Yesterday, Mayor Williams joined other D.C. officials, Nationals players, and members of the new Nats ownership group in picking up a few baseball bat shovels and breaking ground on the South Capitol Street baseball stadium. It was a welcome moment for many Washingtonians, a relief, you might say, for we all remember how many hard fought battles took place to get the city to that moment. We all saw the public fights over bringing the team here — finding them a stadium, financing it, delivering to baseball a stadium lease, and getting baseball to choose an owner. We all know what a monumental effort it was to make those things happen.

Or at least you’d think. Mayor Williams and D.C. Sports & Entertainment Commission Chairman Mark Tuohey are apparently so drunk on the culmination of their baseball efforts, that they believe they can pull off the most ridiculous Washington sports stunt in recent memory. According to the Washington Business Journal, the two plan to approach Dan Snyder about building a new football stadium where RFK currently sits and returning the Redskins to the District.
