Saving...
The Washington sports community feelings toward Pollin versus Redskins owner Dan Snyder is an interesting contrast. It shows that winning isn't all the goes into how the community views a sports franchise's owner.
Too bad the Wizards died long before Abe did. RIP, Abe.
Wow.....I thought the headinf was ".........Palin....."
Interesting Gaffe. NBC 4 here in the DC area, announced that the "long time Redskins owner died today..." can't say that I personally wish harm on Dan Snyder, but thought it was an amusing misstep.
Rest in Peace Abe. You did good. Brought a very exciting NBA title here. Got MJ to come back. Never asked for a dime of public money.
