So to preface this, I’ve been a fan for a long time but I stopped watching the day of the Wall trade. I would tap into games when Beal was the star, and that was a train wreck. With this new squad I was interested in coming back but eh…

With the news of this team move I was kinda surprised but also a bit devastated. I live so close to Potomac Yard and the thought of them adding an arena sounds like a fever dream. The fact that they didn’t even TALK to WMATA about this move is a giant red flag. Don’t get me started on the roads because there is no way they can handle game day congestion. I get the “convenience” that comes with the idea for us Virginians but DC is literally in the middle for VA and MD fans. I get we are going to basically blow up the team and going full rebuild but we are getting rid of any team history/culture. Ex) you can’t play “Welcome to DC” at the start of games anymore.

This idea sucks and it’s clearly only being done for money as usual. The only “bright side” I can kinda see is if development and planning take as long as it has for Landmark Mall, it’ll be another decade before anything is built!😂
