The departure of GM Mike Rizzo has intensified criticism of the Lerner ownership group, whose silence on future plans is concerning fans. While Rizzo will receive full pay and enjoy a vacation, the Lerners are under more scrutiny without him as a buffer. Fans express their disappointment, and the lack of clear direction for the team has led to increased inquiries about their commitment to future contracts. This situation has prompted public discontent and backlash against the Lerners from the sports community in D.C.
Most of the fan venom is pointed towards the Lerners, and has been for several years now. - @JunksRadio- Talk Nats (@TalkNats) July 7, 2025
Nothing makes better radio than a polarizing disaster. The Nats fired their manager and GM simultaneously - and they pushed the Commanders to the sidelines on radio on Monday.
The Lerners needed to say more than what was in their official statement from the team posted yesterday. What is the long-term direction? That is the unknown.
If they would just say that they are committed to signing their next big contract, everyone could relax.
