#1- I really don't know what Snyder has as far as a case. He would have to prove there were damages. How has the article damaged the Redskins? Loss of revenue? DS can't get a loan? DS can't get the quality coaches or players he would like?

#2- Snyder simply should have let it pass. It looked like an upset news reporter from the WP simply venting. Especially since DS has alienated the WP from getting any fresh news since he has been pissed with them for so long. Now that it has resurfaced with DS's intent to possibly sue the WP it makes DS again look like an idiot.

#3- I think DS would have been better served to have contacted the WP exec's and basically worked out some kind of agreement. The WP writers get first crack at some inside info as long as they stop their personal attacks on the Redskins owner. But everything is a two way street. You run a newspaper and it likes to run personal attacks on people then you have to expect your news men will either start getting alienated or cut off completely.

I'm not saying there isn't any truth to any or all of what the reporter wrote, just saying if you want to be one of the leading news agencies with the lates info on one of the top sports organizations in your area then you need to use a little common sense. The WP, I feel, needs more unbiased writers and apparently better editors to weed this type of crap out. Heck the writer wanted to write his little attack article he could have posted it on his own web page instead of either creating or expanding the rift between the two companies.
