Jonathan Allen hopes Russell Wilson will play for Washington, among other things

Call the franchise whatever you want, the team that plays in Washington D.C. is hopelessly broken. We certainly don’t feel like calling them the Commanders, in any case. This week the perpetual dumpster fire of an organization is in the news thanks to a fresh round of sexual harassment allegations against team owner Dan Snyder, who has at last achieved Congressional Hearing levels of misconduct.

Former first-round pick Jonathan Allen is also trending because he tweeted that he wants Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson to play for Washington – and also that he’d like hang out with Hitler in response to a question about which three people he’d like to have dinner with.

Allen has since apologized.

Anyway, he was asked about Wilson because he and his wife took a photo with Wilson and Ciara at the Pro Bowl earlier this week, leading to more silly speculation about No. 3 being traded to DC. Allen replied he’s just a fan but also said he hopes that Wilson comes to play for his team.

I hope to have dinner with Marshawn Lynch, Margot Robbie and Jennifer Lawrence but it’s unlikely to actually happen – just like Wilson playing for any team but Seattle this year.
