Redskins Week 16 Reality Checks: That sinking feeling

Maybe it’s the fact that Washington Redskins president Bruce Allen is still employed and the rumors of his imminent ouster have been replaced by the possibility of him being “reassigned”.

My eyes may never recover from they eyeroll associated with that idea. Good organizations don’t reassign people who are utter and complete failures. They remove them. Good organizations don’t reassign people who show wanton disregard for their customers. They fire them. Good organizations don’t allow malignant cultural rot to fester in a new office. They cut it out.

But the reality is that the #FireBruceAllen movement is Plan B, for Redskins fans are resigned to the fact that once a billionaire gets their hands on an NFL franchise, nothing short of death or scandal will force them out.
