Football is DC's Common Ground Again

from City Cast DC · host City Cast

So it’s a weird political time for a lot of people in DC. But a strange and pretty retro phenomenon is lightening the mood: The city seems to be falling back in love with its football team, the Commanders. After years of futility, the team that was once the one subject guaranteed to unite our city is now one game from the Super Bowl. The Washington Post’s Sam Fortier is here to explain their revived hold on our imagination, and provide a primer for anyone who’s game to jump on the bandwagon.  We’re doing a survey to learn more about our listeners. We’d be grateful if you took the survey at citycast.fm/survey—it’s only 7 minutes long. You’ll be doing us a big favor. Plus, anyone who takes the survey will be eligible to win a $250 Visa gift card–and City Cast City swag. Want some more DC news? Then make sure to sign up for our morning newsletter Hey DC.
