For those of you who haven’t heard, the Washington D.C. Sports and Entertainment Commission is selling out soliciting bids for corporations to buy the naming rights to RFK Memorial Stadium, the former home of the Washington Redskins and current home of the D.C. United and Washington Nationals. As of this post, the deadline for formal bid submission has past, but that hasn’t stopped one organization from throwing its hat in the ring. A “grassroots effort to buy the rights to name the grass” is taking pledges, with the goal of naming the stadium Taxation Without Representation Field at RFK Stadium.
I doubt this effort will actually succeed, but I was still happy to hear that they got some publicity out of it. For more information on the controversy over Washington D.C. voting rights take a look at this article.
