This is about the heartbreak of being a Washington, D.C., sports fan. I am a Washington Redskins fan, a Washington Capitals fan, a Washington Wizards and a Washington Nationals fan. After the Nationals’ loss to the Chicago Cubs in the playoffs, when everyone was saying we should win the World Series, I’m starting to believe my wife. My wife says until the Washington Redskins change their name, none of the sports teams in Washington will win a championship! I would always tell her that was a “bunch of you-know-what,” but after this loss I’m starting to wonder. Could it be true? Could there really be a curse on all the teams in Washington? Man, oh man, where do we go from here? I hope somebody does something, because this is really beginning to hurt.

Live Long and Prosper, Informer
I want to thank you for providing us with your wonderful newspaper. It is truly a treasure for everyone living in the Washington, D.C. area. What I really like about The Informer is the local, national and international focus of your articles, letting us, the readers, feel that we are truly living in a city that is the capital of the world. I would like to think that The Informer will be around for generations, so readers will be able enjoy the kind of news-related articles that I have been able to read over the past few years. It’s hard to predict the future but I know one thing: It wouldn’t be the same Washington, D.C., without The Washington Informer.
