Raljon

Raljon was the name of area around FedExField, home of the Washington Redskins (the current Washington Commanders). Former team owner Jack Kent Cooke derived the name from the names of his sons, Ralph and John. Introduced in 1997, the name enjoyed almost no currency beyond the team, NFL press releases, television and radio partners, and the U.S. Postal Service, which granted Cooke's request that the area be officially recognized.[17] Tony Kornheiser, in a column criticizing the name, wrote, "Lucky for us, Cooke didn't name his kids Peter and Ennis (penis)."[18] Daniel Snyder discontinued the use of the name when he bought the franchise in 1999.[17]
