You say the nfl needs to appease fans, but honestly, how many people here are cancelling their season tickets and are going to stop watching the games because one coach wouldn't talk extensively about the benching of a single player.... I don't see any hands up.

As far as your first point, obviously Bill Gates isn't personally responsible for Microsoft tech support, just as Snyder isn't directly responsible for all the Redskins merchandise and TV shows, I just used his name to make the statement more relatable. And I said that no one can force him to offer tech support, but he does it to make his customers happy. If you think him cutting off tech support and updates would have no effect on the Microsoft bottom line, you're crazy.
Secondly, I stated that we blindly stick with the Redskins here in the Washington area, but fans being unhappy or uninterested to the point of the franchise losing money happens all the time. Anytime a team moves to a new city, it's generally because the owner isn't happy with the amount of money he's making in the current city. All the little Redskins shows and events are what Snyder throws at us to appease us, and it apparently works.
