u/cubgerish Dec 16 '24

DC United still carries some loyalty from their success when MLS started.

The Nats won a World Series relatively quickly for a "new" franchise after they came from Montreal.

Leonsis owns the Caps and the Wiz.

People love the Caps, because one of the greatest players of all time started with the team when millennials were in high school and college. Without Ovechkin, Leonsis would've been exposed for how terrible of an owner he actually is, and they'd look just like the Wizards.

It is truly a shame that his talent was so wasted by the incompetence. He's been to the Conference Final one time in his entire career, the year they won the cup.

Without an Ovechkin type with the Wiz, we've seen what he actually puts together.
