Buried in Congress’s 1,547-page spending bill is a provision transferring the RFK Stadium site to D.C., setting the stage for a new Commanders stadium.

The NFL, raking in over $20 billion annually, doesn’t need public subsidies, yet Congress is giving them a prime site for billionaire owners to cash in—without asking taxpayers.

Lawmakers are calling it “economic development,” but let’s be honest: it’s a taxpayer-funded playground for NFL elites, lobbyists, and VIPs, while schools, healthcare, and infrastructure are left on the bench.

Stuffed into a must-pass bill, there’s little time for oversight—or for taxpayers to question why their money is being leveraged for luxury suites and skyboxes.
