Washington Redskins Company Description
It's only natural that DC area residents are partisan for this football team. Washington Football owns and operates the Washington Redskins professional football franchise, one of the more popular and successful teams in the National Football League. The Skins were founded in 1932 as the Boston Braves and moved to Washington, DC, in 1937. The team boasts five NFL championships, including three Super Bowl victories (its last in 1992). Despite the club's lack of consistent playoff appearances in recent seasons, a loyal fan base keeps the seats filled at FedExField most Sundays. Daniel Snyder, who made his fortune in marketing and advertising, has owned the team and its home stadium since 1999.
