Two train derailments in neighboring states had very different outcomes — and officials say that's not unusual.

Few NFL teams have managed to lose as much as Washington has since Daniel Snyder was part of a group that purchased the franchise for a then-record $800 million in 1999.

A wide-ranging ESPN report about Dan Snyder points to a rift between the Washington Commanders owner and longtime confidant Jerry Jones.

Dan Snyder's ownership of Washington's NFL franchise has been a matter of considerable debate for years.

Washington Commanders rookie running back Brian Robinson Jr. says he underwent surgery a day after being shot in what the team called an attempted robbery or carjacking.

Washington’s NFL team is now known as the Commanders.

Washington's NFL team says it will unveil its new name on Feb. 2.

Washington Football President Jason Wright tells The Associated Press the organization has substantially narrowed the list of potential names for the team.

Washington's NFL team will not be called the Warriors or have any other Native American imagery in the new name when it's revealed next year.

Owner Dan Snyder hired lawyer Beth Wilkinson to conduct an independent investigation in July after several female former employees made allegations of workplace sexual harassment. The NFL in July took over control of the investigation. A spokesman said the NFL had not yet received the final report. “There must be accountability for the actions we believe are detailed in this report,” the employees wrote in their letter to Goodell. Seventeen former employees signed the letter to Goodell by name and three others anonymously.

Everywhere else around the Washington Football Team's practice facility has been scrubbed of the Native American logo that was synonymous with the storied franchise and its three Super Bowl titles. There's a new coach in Ron Rivera running the show, and his custom-made staff ensuring practice goes his way. It was football practice during a pandemic, even if it had a different feel than Redskins training camp that was held in Richmond, Virginia, the past seven years. The team would like to see Haskins take another step forward in the wake of rookie growing pains. But this is also a transitional year for the team that should have a new, permanent name in 2021, when the expectations will also rise.
