I'm sure he gets frustrated with the repeated misinformation that's put out there. Who wouldn't? Unfortunately, it comes with the territory. He's better off just ignoring it. I mean if the worst someone can say about you is you spend too much on your team, what's the huge deal. He didn't, as I recall, make any defamatory statements toward Snyder's wife or kids. Had he done that, yeah sue him and his offspring for everything they've got and hope to one day have.

The Yahoo story on this included the comment that Snyder has just guaranteed maximum national exposure of what was originally a local story that has generally been forgotten about. And as a few others have said, such a decision rings of the old Snyder instead of the new one that, judging by the posts in this thread, the majority is very much enamored with.
Approaching the Post and telling them to save e-mails and leaking the news of the lawsuit exploration is a stupid decision on Snyder's part. I generally agree that Snyder has exhibited some maturation, although I disagree that it has been years in development as others have said, and instead believe it has only manifested very, very recently. But this since-dead story was printed in the same year that Snyder acknowledged past missteps and actually let a non-Joe Gibbs head coach become the franchise face, so I'm disappointed that he didn't choose to show himself above his detractors and just let this go. That would have been the mature thing to do.
