I understand Snyder's not wanting to be called a forger. I understand his point about how a simple apology would do. These are points on Snyder's side.
I still think he is being a bit thin-skinned about this - he still could have let the whole thing go - but his position is somewhat understandable.

We aren't debating about fact, we are debating context. I think the sentence

That’s the Dan Snyder who got caught forging names as a telemarketer with Snyder Communications

This isn't meant to be taken literally that Dan Snyder is the guy actually forging names. It's meant to be taken that Dan Snyder was in charge of a company that was found guilty of forging names, and had to know the practices were going on.
McKenna even mentions as much later on in the article.

Slamming: The illegal practice of switching a customer’s telephone service without authorization. Florida authorities fined Snyder’s pre-Redskins outfit, Snyder Communications, $3.1 million in 2001 after investigators uncovered more slamming in its offices than you’d find stagefront at a Limp Bizkit show.

Context is everything. As noted by the Jerry Falwell vs Hustler case.
