According to several members of the Virginia
General Assembly, the Washington Redskins is a private business
whose internal affairs—including the choice of whether to keep or
drop its controversial team name—should not be micromanaged by
federal officials. Yet as A. Barton Hinkle observes, the Redskins
do not exactly resemble a free-market operation. The team raked in
$6 million two years ago from Virginia taxpayers, for example, and
also benefits from the many other public advantages conferred by
government on the NFL.
