You have done neither.

Also, the article did not even mention Snyder being a Jew, so the typical ignorant fan WOULD NOT HAVE KNOWN he was a Jew just by the article.

I was just testing whether you are dominated by emotion or reason, and emotion clearly wins and I wouldn't want you breaking the rules of logic to pursue "justice" aka emotional satisfaction in your world.

On a separate note, a fair share of Jews don't see it as anti-Semitic.
The devil made him do it? Snyder sees anti-Semitism, but few others agree - Washington Jewish Week - Online Edition - Rockville, MD
I wouldn't argue that my reaction wasn't emotionally motivated. It certainly was. Furthermore, i'm ignorant as to the requirements to facilitate cause in a lawsuit. There is clearly no doubt to that effect.

I didn't like the article, i didn't like the picture, and i personally feel that Dan Snyder is as much a part of the Redskins, as all of us. What do i mean by that?

If you and i were at the same bar one night, and someone was relentlessly antogonizing you because of your 'skins hat. I would speak up for you. I feel compelled to speak up for OUR owner. He's not going anywhere, and it's our privelege to complain about him. But it's not our right to remove him. In the same way it's not my right to tell you not to be a fan.
