Army thinking of buying naming rights to RFK Stadium.

[mattclearing]

They think re-naming the stadium for the Army will help flagging recruitment.

God forbid they examine the product they are marketing.

I know there are more deserving causes, but this is my home, and the home of my beloved Washington Redskins' glory years, named for the best President we were not allowed to have.

I would be honored if fellow DU'ers could send a message to Mayor Williams and/or the DC City Council, who recently weighed whether or not to bar President Bush from throwing out the pitch on opening day in favor of Eleanor Holmes Norton, our non-voting Congressional Rep., who actually supports District Voting Rights.

2. ARGH! I hope they don't go through with this...

Even though I'm not from D.C., RFK is my hero and I love that this stadium is named in his honor.
