Washington Football, Inc.
 PROFILE
Politics isn't the only game in town. Washington Football owns one of Washington, DC's most recognizable institutions -- the Washington Redskins. The team dates to 1932, then known as the Boston Braves. It changed its name in 1933 and moved to Washington, DC, in 1937. An ownership group led by Snyder Communications CEO Daniel Snyder bought the team and Jack Kent Cooke Stadium (now FedEx Field) in 1999 for $800 million. Despite having the highest payroll in NFL history in 2000, Snyder's team failed to make the playoffs; coach Norv Turner was replaced by Marty Schottenheimer in 2001. Snyder is appealing a 1999 ruling which threatens to outlaw the Redskins trademark as offensive to Native Americans.
