The Washington Redskins are members of the East Division of the National Football Conference in the NFL. They were established in 1932 in Boston Massachusetts under owner George Preston Marshall. The team was initially known as the Boston Braves with their first game on October 2, 1932, which was lost to the Brooklyn Dodgers. Their next game the following week was against the New York Giants, which gave them their first win. A year later, the team moved to Fenway Park (which they shared with the Boston Red Sox) and the team's name was changed to the Redskins. During this time, the team was coached by Lone Star Dietz, who was an American Indian at the time.

The Redskins had their first successful year in 1936, capturing their first Eastern Division Championship with a record of 7-5. The final game of the regular season was played against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Redskins won the game 30-0, but Marshall was angry that there were only 4,813 fans, causing him to give home field advantage to the Green Bay Packers, who ended up winning 21-6. After that, Marshall decided to move the team to Washington D.C. for the 1937 season, keeping the name Redskins. Along with the Washington Senators, the Redskins played at Griffith Stadium and won a League Championship in their first year in their new hometown. The Redskins signed rookie quarterback Sammy Baugh (future Pro Football Hall of Famer), who was also known for playing other positions on the field. The Redskins had a string of Eastern Division Championships in 1937, 1940, 1942, 1943, and 1945 going all the way to an NFL Championship in 1937 and again in 1942 (both games against the Chicago Bears).

The Washington Redskins were the last team in the NFL to integrate African-American players on the field. Marshall's refusal to integrate the team was noticed by the Washington Post and the United States Federal Government. They changed their way of thinking and drafted future Heisman Trophy winner Ernie Davis. Davis wasn't interested in playing for a team that had trouble allowing blacks on the team, so he demanded to be traded and was obliged. In his place came wide receiver and future Pro Football Hall of Famer Bobby Mitchell and two other African-American players. The trade ended up being a good plan, given that Davis never played a down of professional football after dying from Leukemia. Marshall died in 1969, and the team was sold to Edward Bennett Williams.

The Redskins hired Vince Lombardi (former Green Bay Packers head coach) to coach the team, but he died on the eve of the 1970 season from cancer. Williams signed George Allen to lead the team on January 6, 1971, and Allen brought his infamous "The future is now" slogan to the Redskins which proved to be true for the team. Allen's Redskins brought their first playoff appearance home since 1945 with a record of 9-4-1, but they lost to the San Francisco 49ers with a close score of 24-20.

The 2007 Redskins faced a tragedy on November 26 when safety Sean Taylor was shot in his home. Taylor died the next day at 3am. Four men were charged with Taylor's murder, including second-degree murder, armed burglary and home invasion with a firearm. Since, they have not been able to recover from the loss of such a key player, and are still working to bring back the same drive and determination Taylor had at every game.

The Redskins have won the NFC East Championship six times (1972, 1983, 1984, 1987, 1991, and 1999). Of those six appearances, five of them translated into a Conference Championship (1972, 1982, 1983, 1987, and 1991) and three of them translated into Super Bowl Championships (1982 XVII, 1987 XXII and 1991 XXVI). The closest they have gotten since was in 1999 winning a Division Championship in 1999. The team has played in five fields including Braves Field, Fenway Park, Griffith Stadium, RFK Stadium, and FedEx Field where they are currently located. While they may still be waiting for the light at the end of the tunnel, Redskins tickets are still what every Washington fan craves.
