We tend to use the wrong D-word when referring to the Washington Redskins. They incite controversy, and we call them dysfunctional. They’re dysfunctional when they can’t sign Kirk Cousins to a long-term contract; when they help wreck Robert Griffin III’s career; when they badmouth players who leave the organization to save face; when they use alcoholism as reason to fire former general manager Scot McCloughan for cause after shunning the issue when they hired him; when they disregard concern about the racial insensitivity of the team’s name; and now, when they are accused of allowing shady things to be done to their cheerleaders for the enjoyment of male sponsors and suite holders.
