Well I guess I'm dragging myself back into this. Snyder does a lot more than just donate his money and use of his private plane. The majority of charitable events the Redskins sponsor-food drives, park cleanup, playground renovation, etc-he's there helping out. I really don't know him very well myself and I have some bad stories, that most of you probably don't know about. But most people ibtak to who know him have nothing but good things to say about him as a person. He just doesn't that type of personality that conveys it. Do I wish some things were different? Sure. Who doesn't? But honestly, much of the hatred is based on speculation and ignorance to the world of sports ownership and the relation between sports teams and the media. What this thread is originally about is stuff that I've dealt with many many times over the past 15 years with leagues, teams, and even players. But it's understood that isn't brought up in public. Yet no one seems to say anything about the post's actions here. But again that's largely due to ignorance people have that this type of situation has never happened before. Call me an apologist if you want, but I'd rather be that then someone who compares protecting a brand with systematically executing dogs.
