20. FedEx Field

This stadium isn’t old, but the home of the NFL’s Washington Redskins has to have some malevolent spirits that are going out of their way to hurt the football team.

The team itself might be the most buttoned-up of any team in NFC East entering the 2016 season, which is due in large part to the success of head coach Jay Gruden, but Redskins owner Daniel Snyder might be the most reviled majority owner in all of North American professional sports.

His straight up refusal to change his team’s racist nickname has been an on-going issue in the NFL that apparently isn’t going away any time soon.

Washington might be favored to win the NFC East again in 2016, but should the Redskins qualify for the NFC Playoffs, bad karmic spirits could very well wreck their chances of a run to the Super Bowl. It happened before only four season ago, when RGIII tore his ACL during the 2012 NFC Wild Card Game versus the Seattle Seahawks.

The spirits at FedEx may not have liked Griffin undermining his former head coach Mike Shanahan, and only responding to owner Snyder. Current quarterback Kirk Cousins seems to be a more humble guy than Griffin, but if he gets a big head for whatever reason this fall, the ghosts at FedEx might choose to knock him and his teammates down a peg in January.
