This is def open for debate, but after giving it some thought. These are the legends of the Washington DC franchises these men are who I picked from there accomplishments with there respective teams in DC. staring with # 28, for two decades he was known as legs and the fastest man in the NFL, everybody still talks about when he ran from the other side of the field to tackle Tony Dorsett on MNF. He was a first ballot HOFamer, and under the Joe Gibbs era was with 2 of the 3 super bowl winning squads. The Redskin face is IMO is Chris Cooley and only time will tell if he is worthy to sit at that Redskin legend table.
For the Bullets/Wizards star for over a decade dominated the Capital Center night in and night out, in 1978 along with my man PC, and Elvin Hays!! they won the franchises only Championship. Later Wes would coach and work in the Front office for the organization, bc of the loyalty and admiration The Pollins had for Wes. The struggling franchise is in desperate need of a face that people can cheer for, Gilbert Arena's is the face now but for all the wrong reasons.
For the Senators/Nationals have to go with the franchises only true legend Walter Johnson who played for the Senators from 1907-1927, his entire MLB career in Washington with a W-L record of 417-279, his career ERA was 2.17, and in 1924 he lead the Senators to a World Series, he def belongs in this sacred shrine, hopefully Ryan Zimmerman will get to join Johnson at that table one day!!! Have allot of high hopes for Ryan!!
For the Washington Capitals there is the wrong way, the right way, and there is Langway!!! def the Capitals mightiest Ice Warrior as he played with no helmet, he won over the 9-5, beer drinking, hell raising blue collar hard working joes that went to games at the Cap center, he played hard and aggressive and put alot of guys asses in the board. He was a fav among the Redskin hogs: Grimm, Lachey, Jacoby, and Bostic made Langway there drinking buddy they loved how much heart that Langway played with, Rod Langway is the man in my book!! cant wait till Ovechkin joins him at that sacred Capitals table!! Ovechkin is on his way there and will prob surpass Langway but until he does, Langway is hockey royalty in Washington!!

Lastly for DC United the cornerstone of the Franchise, the humble superstar from Bolivia Jaime Moreno, who was with the team when it started in 96, in 97 he led the MLS in goals and United to the league championship!!, he left United in 2002, but returned in 04 where United that season won there 4th league championship, he is the only current active player in this elite group, but he is arguably the greatest player to ever put on a DC United uniform and belong at this table with these other four athletes, so that's DC's Rushmore If I was building it. This is def open for debate what do you think??
