The Washington Football Team , formerly the Boston Braves , Boston Redskins, and Washington Redskins , is an American football team from Washington, DC that plays in the National Football League (NFL). You play in the National Football Conference (NFC) in the Eastern Division . The team won three Super Bowls between 1982 and 1991 with their coach Joe Gibbs and three different quarterbacks ( Joe Theismann , Doug Williams and Mark Rypien ) .

history

The Boston Braves football team was founded in 1932 and soon renamed the Boston Redskins and moved to Washington in 1937, forming today's Washington Redskins. The team of owner George Preston Marshall , who led the Redskins for 37 years, coach Ray Flaherty and the two stars Sammy Baugh (on offense as quarterback , defensive as defensive back , in special teams as punter ) and running back Cliff Battles won both the 1937 NFL Championship Game and the 1942 NFL Championship Game . But in the post-war years, the Redskins sank into mediocrity, and made headlines rather outside the field: The reason for this was the racism of owner George Preston Marshall, who only signed white players. It was not until the US Congress threatened Marshall with draconian penalties that the first black players were signed in 1962.

The play-offs were not reached again until 1971 , but even under the new quarterback Sonny Jurgensen Washington was always eliminated early. It was only with the arrival of coach Joe Gibbs (1981) that the Redskins became a top team: he built a strong offensive line around center Jeff Bostic , the guards Russ Grimm and Mark May , the tackles Joe Jacoby and George Starke and the tight ends Don Warren and Rick Walker , nicknamed "The Hogs" for their dominant line control. The Hogs kept their backs for new running back John Riggins as well as starting quarterback Joe Theismann and wide receiver Art Monk , and on the defensive cornerback Darrell Green established himself as a valuable reinforcement. Under Gibbs, the Redskins won Super Bowl XVII in January 1983 . After Theismann had to end his career after a complicated broken leg, his replacement Doug Williams won Super Bowl XXII with the Redskins in 1988 . Williams made history by becoming the first black quarterback to win the Super Bowl - for the Redskins of all people, who were once infamous for their racism. In 1992, the Redskins won the title for the third time when they beat the Buffalo Bills 37:24 in Super Bowl XXVI , this time with Mark Rypien as quarterback. After Gibbs resigned in 1993 in favor of motorsport, the Redskins sank back into mediocrity, while Joe Gibbs Racing was the NASCAR champion several times.

Since then (as of 2019) the team has reached the play-offs six times, including again with Gibbs as coach in 2005 and 2007, but always missed the conference finals. As of 2014 , Jay Gruden , brother of former head coach and Super Bowl winner Jon Gruden , was head coach of the Redskins. The season was marked by setbacks as the Redskins u. a. had to play with three starting quarterbacks . In the end the season ended with a 4–12 record. For the 2015 season Kirk Cousins ​​was appointed starting quarterback, and you could win the division after the regular season. The wild card game against the Green Bay Packers was lost 18:35. The 2016 season was characterized by the performance of the offense , as it gained more than 6,000 yards of space and eight players ran or caught more than 500 yards each. Nevertheless, they missed the play-offs with an 8–7–1 record, as they did not win against the New York Giants on the last day of the game .

For the 2018 season, after Kirk Cousins ​​left for the Minnesota Vikings, the experienced former number one draft pick Alex Smith was brought in by the Kansas City Chiefs as quarterback. However, since he was seriously injured during the season, the Redskins ended the season with a 7-9 record in third place for the NFC East and again did not take part in the playoffs.

The Redskins began the 2019 season with Case Keenum , who had been brought in by the Denver Broncos and who received a lot of praise for his strong 2017 season with the Minnesota Vikings. However, even this could not lead the game of the Redskins with the necessary stability, so they started with five games without a win. Due to this development, Coach Gruden was fired from the Redskins on October 8, 2019.

Although the Washington Redskins name and logo had been criticized for decades for being racist, the leadership held on to it for a long time, despite protests. In the wake of the social protests after the death of George Floyd in 2020, however, criticism of the team's name and logo grew again. After several major sponsors of the team had distanced themselves, the team management announced in July 2020 that the name Redskins would be dropped. This season they will appear temporarily under the name Washington Football Team until a new name is found.

Sean Taylor's number 21 has not been used again since his death in 2007. However, those responsible do not agree whether his number should be added to the "unofficially withdrawn" numbers. OJ Atogwe , who had always worn the number 21 in his career, changed his number out of respect for Taylor and wore the 20 at the Redskins. Joe Theismann's number 7 was no longer awarded from 1985 to 2019. Theismann agreed that the number would be reassigned to quarterback Dwayne Haskins , selected by the Redskins in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft .

Members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame

With 33 people, the Redskins have the most members in the Hall of Fame next to the Bears . With Sammy Baugh , Earl "Curly" Lambeau and the co-founder of the Redskins George Preston Marshall , they also have three founding members in the hall. With the former General Manager Bobby Beathard , the last person who worked for the Redskins was accepted into the hall in 2018.

The Redskins and the former Braves played in different stadiums. In its founding year 1932 , the team played at Braves Field as the Boston Braves . The stadium, actually designed for baseball , is located in Boston , Massachusetts and has been used over the years for several other football teams ( Boston Bulldogs ( AFL, 1926 ), Boston Bulldogs ( NFL, 1929 ), Boston Shamrocks ( AFL II , 1936-1937), Boston Yanks (NFL)) also has a homestead. After a 4–4–2 season, the Braves moved to Fenway Park and changed their name to Boston Redskins . The team played there until 1936 , but then moved Washington, DC to Griffith Stadium and have since played as Washington Redskins . The baseball stadium, which was built in 1911 and was called a National Park until 1920 and was named after Clark Griffith , had seating for between 27,000 and 32,000 and was also home to the Washington Senators . After the Senators moved to Minneapolis , Minnesota , the Redskins left the stadium after 24 seasons and an 81-58-6 record in 1960 and moved to the newly built DC Stadium . On January 18, 1969, the venue was renamed the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium (RFK Stadium for short) in honor of the 1968 assassinated US Senator and presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy . The multi-purpose stadium, in which American football , baseball and soccer was played, could accommodate around 45,000 spectators during American football and baseball games. Since the stadium could not be expanded, the former owner of the Redskins Jack Kent Cooke was looking for a job for a new stadium in 1994. He found a job, which is why the Redskins moved to the newly built FedExField in the 1997 season after 266 regular season games . Between 1997 and 1999 the stadium was named after Jack Kent Cooke nor Jack Kent Cooke Stadium . After Cooke's death and the sale of the Redskins to Daniel Snyder , the latter sold the naming rights to FedEx , which pays around $ 7.6 million annually for it. Between 2004 and 2010, the FedExField had the largest stadium capacity in the NFL with over 90,000 seats. Only the newly built AT&T Stadium of the Dallas Cowboys , which can be expanded to over 100,000 seats, surpassed this size. Since 2015, the stadium has normally fit 82,000 spectators. The stadium is mainly designed for American football. However, some international soccer games have also been played. On the one hand, some games of the 1999 Women's World Cup and, on the other hand, games of the International Champions Cup were played in the stadium.

Since the team has not been very successful in recent years, the attendance at home games was only between 85 and 90 percent and thus at the bottom of the NFL. However, since FedExField is one of the largest stadiums in the NFL, the Redskins' home games still attract more spectators than other stadiums.

  • The Fenway Park , venue of 1933-1936

  • The now demolished Griffith Stadium

  • The RFK Stadium during a soccer game.

  • The FedExField , the current stadium

Balance sheets and records

Washington Redskins / Numbers and Records represents important records for the Braves / Redskins, the direct comparisons with the other American football teams, the season balances since 1932 and the first round draft picks since 1936.

The name "Redskins" (dt. Redskins ) was considered controversial because it is perceived as racist by some Native Americans (similar to, for example, the Kansas City Chiefs , the Cleveland Indians or the Atlanta Braves ). The team has therefore been involved in multiple conflicts with Native Americans; for example in 1972, when a delegation tried to persuade team president Edward Bennett Williams to change his name. This attempt failed. On the other hand, removing the line “ Scalps you! “Can be obtained from the battle song of the team. In 1992, Cheyenne activist Suzan Harjo sued the use of the name (Harjo et al. V. Pro Football, Inc.), but lost in court. In a Native American survey, 81% said they had no problem with the name of the team. In late June 2017, Navajo activist Amanda Blackhorse and four other Native American plaintiffs withdrew their lawsuit against the team after the United States Supreme Court passed a 1946 rule two weeks earlier that brand names are not allowed if they are used could be perceived as offensive, had been declared unconstitutional because it would contravene the principle of freedom of expression. In 2020 the nickname was dropped.

In the television series South Park , the name discussion about the team was parodied in the first episode of the 18th season.

The Redskins, who play their home games not far from the White House of the US government, are part of the so-called "Redskins Rule". This superstition says that the outcome of any US presidential election depends on the outcome of the last Redskins home game before this election: if the Redskins win, the incumbent president or his successor remains in office, the Redskins lose, and the incumbent president is voted out of office Party successor loses. Since the Redskins moved to Washington (1937), this rule was always correct until 2000, but recently there were two exceptions ( 2004 and 2012 ). Nevertheless, the last Redskins home game before the presidential election always attracted increased media interest.
