As for Leonsis, much different thing to own the Caps, Wizards, and Mystics vs Redskins, he's got issues with the Washington Post as well, and has said he will be less fan friendly and accesible moving forward bc too many fans are basically petty assholes.

His approach is much different than any owner I've ever known in any sport. I wonder how long he'll be willing to continue directly indulging his critics.

So I guess the lawsuit is official. I get Snyder's frustration and McKenna did hit below the belt a couple of times. Still, if it were me I would have just ignored McKenna's claims. Just focus on the team. What McKenna and some fans think? Who cares

Re: Snyder Camp Upset!!
 

[quote=SBXVII;781951]I'll agree with you, there is also the question of where this article was placed. What I'm referring to is I thought the WP had an "Opinion" section that may come out on Sundays. Clearly this is a biased opinionated article which would be perfect for that section and readers. If the editors had it placed in the everyday "Sports" section would be wrong.

I'm just guessing it was in the "Sports" section and the thought was to stir the pot and get more readers and again I'll say bad judgement on the editors.[/quote]

If the lawsuit is really [B]ON[/B], then we will see just how many of the "A to Z" comments can be shown to be true or false. If both sides have the chops to let this get to open court - - public record with people testifying under oath about all the allegations in that article - -, everyone will know a lot more about Danny Boy and about at least one of the reporters who covers him and the Redskins in the Washington area.


My hunch is that neither side wants that open court scenario with people testifying under oath to happen...


I smell a legalistic game of "chicken" here...

Re: Snyder Camp Upset!!
 

Who on thewarpath is an Andyman? I have my suspicions, but I'm afraid to blow the whistle.....

Andyman: Fake name widely believed to be used by top Redskins officials to post anti-media rants on fan message boards. In 2005, Washington City Paper reported that Karl Swanson, Snyder’s longtime PR chief, had registered on sportsjournalists.com, a website where Andyman often sniped at The Washington Post. Andyman, which could be Pig Latin for Danny M (Snyder’s first name, middle initial) all but disappeared after the report.

Re: Snyder Camp Upset!!
 

There was indeed a person on sportsjournalists.com who used the screen name "Andyman" back in the day. And it is true that he/she routinely took exception to [I]WaPo[/I] articles critical of the Redskins and to various other media outlets. He/She has not posted at sportsjournalists.com for quite a while now. Thems are facts.


I have no idea who "Andyman" was then or if he/she continues to lurk there or if he/she has a new screen name there. Frankly, nor do I care...


As to [I]The Warpath[/I], I think there are plenty of fans here who are so emotionally tied to the team that they take any criticism of the team by any media outlet as unfounded, biased, mean-spirited and purposeful. Perhaps one of the posters here is a Redskins' employee "in disguise" - - but it just isn't possible that all the media-bashers here are all employed in their day jobs in Ashburn, VA.

Not that much different. The guy has something Snyder doesn't. People skills. Snyder comes across as a 100% thin skinned dick to his customers. For someone that made a boat load of $ in marketing, you'd think he'd have better people skills instead of always hiding behind people. Now he's got lawyers trying to get some nobody at the freakin City Paper fired? I'd maybe understand if it was The Post or ESPN, or something like that. But the City Paper??

Wow, take a moment to read Donovan's letter to the Washington City Paper ownership. Snyder and company really think it's them vs. the world. These guys are so out of touch with reality and so far up their own rears to realize they are only propagating more negative perception, spin, articles, opinion etc. by sending that letter.

It is so ironic it is sad.

Re: Snyder Camp Upset!!
 

[quote=sportscurmudgeon;781888]I am not a lawyer and I never played one on TV. So, I defer to others with legal competencies here.

I also defer to SmootSmack as a person closely involved in sports journalism when it comes to the concepts of libel/slander/defamation.

With those disclaimers, the saga unfolding here will change dramatically the instant Dan Snyder sues [I]City Paper [/I]and/or the author for libel/slander/defamation. Because the instant he does that, the argument changes entirely from the tone of the disucussion ongoing here.

In court, it will have nothing to do with whether or not Danny Boy has changed his ways or has stepped back from football operations or his good intentions for the team and the fans. It will have to do with the legal standards for libel/slander/defamation. And here are two things that are involved in those legal standards:
[INDENT]1. Truth is an absolute/unassailable defense. If the article had accused Danny Boy of torturing kittens every other night for the last ten years to satisfy some sadistic urges that he cannot control, he could win a lawsuit over those charges - - UNLESS - - those charges happen to be true. A reporter can make any statements/accusations about anyone at any time with absolute immunity - - - if the statements/accusations are true.

2. Danny Boy is a "public figure" - - not just your average guy on the street. That has nothing to do with his bank account; it has to do with his being well known and well recognized by the public because of his actions in his life. For public figures, the legal standards also include a showing in a libel/slander/defamation action that the author or the publication had to have malicious intent in publishing the stuff.[/INDENT]
Remember, I am not a lawyer. Having said that, for a public figure to win such a lawsuit is no simple matter.

There are folks out there who say they know the author and that he withheld stuff from that article that he could not verify. Let me be clear, I do NOT know the author and I have no idea if those statements are true. However, if the statements of those supporters are correct, that would imply an awful lot of fact-checking on his part prior to publication. A lawsuit would determine just how much fact-checking was done here...

Reports also say that Snyder's lawyers have informed the [I]Washington Post [/I]to preserve any and all e-mails between the author here and [I]Post[/I] columnist Dan Steinberg. I have no idea if that is an important element of this matter or if this is just a threat to make it seem as if the Snyder lawyers are out for blood. But I will suggest the following:

If Danny Boy drags the [I]Washington Post [/I]into a lawsuit and thre is no basis for doing so, he will have violated an old precept of public relations:
[INDENT]Never pick a fight with someone who buys newsprint by the carload and ink by the barrel.[/INDENT]
This has the potential to get very interesting...

I wonder if the author and or [I]City Paper [/I]will file a counter-suit saying that any action filed by Danny Boy was a frivolous and capricious action? That might be fun too...

In legal proceedings there is a process called, "Discovery". Just a hunch here, but neither side would enjoy jumping through the "Discovery" hoops the other side will construct.[/quote]

Might bring out a lot of files that the Skins wouldn't want out as well. Who knows what could be subpoenaed and hit the public.

Partially yes. Also first impressions are paramount. We all know that from our workplace to our personal relationships. Snyder's actions and record the first few seasons have left a horrible taste in all of the fans' mouths. That view may not every change for some, but the only way to try to turn things around is hard work, stronger attempts to change and distancing yourself from past actions. I don't think this whole "effort" from the Skins camp is helping.

Wouldn't you agree?

Well some things are simply not true, like the Herzog situation. Some things didn't start with Snyder, like the questionable waiting list.

But my point with some of the other stuff is McKenna's just piling stuff on to show what a terrible owner Snyder is, but failing to acknowledge what became of certain situations, what corrections occurred, and failing to acknowledge that in some cases other successful teams have done the same. If I was his editor I would have said just focus on some things and drill down on them. I mean I get it, he was putting together a list and to do that he count get too detailed but a recurring theme is Snyder never learns, but in several examples he did learn. You wouldn't know it from the article though.

I don't see in the lawsuit where specifically he's calling for McKenna to be fired, though I suspect he certainly would be if he is shown to have deliberately falsely accused Snyder of some of the more egregious (felony) issues here.

I have no idea what you're talking about with the Zorn, smith thing.

Re: Snyder Camp Upset!!
 

When will the anti-semitic Dan Snyder Devil pic be available as an avatar?

I can't see this turning out well for Dan. The City Paper? Really? Whats next, will he sue the publisher of the Super Saver coupon insert in the Sunday paper. 97% of people would have never read this thing if it were not for this suit. Now, the article is the #2 page that comes up when you google Dan Snyder...in a couple of days it will rank higher than his Wikipedia page.

So, if there is a lawsuit....will the City Paper be able to subpoena records related to the Peanuts, the trees....that can't be good.

Come to think of it....this could be good....I would love a televized hearing where the City Paper calls Zorn, Cerrato, Sherm Lewis, Jeff George, Norv Turner, Bruce Smith and Brian Mitchell to the stand....they can run it on the NFL network.

The current owner of the Washington Redskins has done some really sketchy stuff. Period.

What fine line am I treading exactly? And I only cited some things because I was trying to make a general point, not do a line item refutal.

Also, I've also tried to make the point here (and previously) that my maun issue with the piece is that the frivolous stuff and the stuff that isn't true, in my opinion, takes away from the legit stuff and the focus of criticism on Snyder should be on what's accurate.

I don't know Snyder, I have no association with him or the team so my opinion is my opinion. It's not clouded by any "insiderness"

Re: Snyder Camp Upset!!
 

This lawsuit is probably just a big mistake. If Snyder hadn't sued, everybody and their mothers would have forgotten about the article. I mean who reads the City Paper anyway? I've barely heard of it before this came along. Sure the article was mean and everything, and I'm guessing and might be wrong on this, but who reads the City Paper? Even if the article did cause a stir when it came out everybody has long since forgotten about it by now, and by suing them Snyder is just serving a reminder that he's still thin-skinned after all this time. Nobody is going to be the winner in this one.

Two TOTALLY different situations. Unseld helped bring a championship and winning basketball to this city. He was a GREAT NBA center at 6'7. There was a respect factor there and that's why Polin got somewhat of a pass. Polin considered Unseld like family, just like Snyder thinks of Joe Gibbs. Cerrato was hated from the start, when he was hiding out in a Dulles airport hotel room trying to get in Redskin Park while John Cooke and Casserly were still there. Plus his not wanting veterans around. I could go on and on about why people hate Vinny. What did he do for anyone to like him? People DO care here about the Wizards, and if they can get a couple more strong draft picks to go along with Wall, they will come very close to being the main draw here. DC will always be a Redskin town cause of the rich tradition, but with a new generation of fans seeing nothing but losing, and a shitty game day experience at Fed Ex, the Redskins certainly are not what they use to be.

None of this will do anything to salvage the reputation of an owner that has been consistently vilified since assuming ownership of the Redskins. I agree with Mooby, the only winner here is whomever stands to benefit from any litigated compensation in the event there is a damage award ruling favoring the owner. The results won't do much to sway the overwhelmingly negative opinion shared by so many in the Redskin community, if anything, it may only serve to magnify the negativity.

This is the one thing that I do not like about the guy. He NEVER says anything. He hides behind Gibbs, he hides behind Vinny, he hides behind his lawyers. I'm not saying he has to come out and talk whenever someone bashes him. But the real negative stuff that gives the team real bad press, he should come out and talk about it. Instead, he gets Donavan to talk for him. Be a man about it and if it really bothers you enough to sue then respond. Instead, just like he did when the bad press came out about suing season ticket holders, he pushes Donavan out there.

This one is pretty clever, it's like the writer wanted to dis Snyder w/out actually getting into any details about the City mag. article or any specifics (other than the liberal use of '$78 mill qb'). From an NFC east team's perspective, it's sadly pretty accurate.

Re: Snyder Camp Upset!!
 

The article which provoked the lawsuit is three months old. If he had to act, why did Snyder wait so long to do so?

I have trouble understanding how Snyder does not see that the no-comment high road would be the best road, especially since he's had three months to think it over. But now the can of worms has been opened.

I am not a great Snyder fan but I feel sorry for the way that his personal business will be put on public display in the coming months. Not too sorry, though, since he is, in a way, asking for it.

my mom doesnt have jewish blood, she converted when she married my step dad, i went to hebrew school and sunday school, was bar mitzah'd on mt. messiah in israel.

If the article's subject matter was related to DS being jewish, then yes I would agree the horn thing would be an offensive reference to the history of jewish people being depicted as having horns but . . .

this article didnt mention his faith, it was about his past actions as owner of the skins which gives context to the devil horns, unibrow, goatee etc. IMO

what i find not offensive but unfortunate is DS's decision to use the bigotry card and solicit a condemnation from (forget the name) some jewish center in dc. he is probably a member there, donates money etc.
