Washington has been a solid punching bag for the rest of the NFL for the better part of the last decade, but there are some people who wish to kick them while they’re down.
Not only was RB Derrius Guice released from the team after being arrested for domestic violence charges on Friday, but former Washington LB Preston Smith took an unnecessary shot at the team, saying that the potential of playing games in 2020 without fans in the stands might be something that he’s used to, seeing as he spent the first four years of his career doing something similar in Washington.
#Packers LB Preston Smith talking about playing games with no fans: "My first four years in the league, there weren't that many fans in the stadium anyway. So it might be kind of normal now again."

Hard to argue with the sentiment, but fair to be annoyed with the timing. There are enough other things going on in Washington to not want to be catching flack from former players, truthful as they may be.
