Bristow, Virginia, resident Monica Arlington-Miller and her family have been Washington Redskins season-ticket holders for 21 years — from the moment the franchise moved to FedEx Field in Landover. Before that, she and her father were on a waiting list for 24 years. As soon as she could walk, she remembers, she was a fan of the Burgundy-and-Gold.
But when the Redskins begin their season Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals, Arlington-Miller won’t be watching.
“The political climate around what’s going on in the game is turning into something that’s just frustrating,” she said.
