Re: What grinds your gears: Redskins edition
It's real easy to dismiss it because it comes from the mouth of Chris Russell (and Grant Paulsen got in on it too) but Snyder/Allen being jealous of the Caps/Nats success and the fan support makes perfect sense to me. You think Snyder doesn't care that the Caps sell out the majority of the regular season games, or that they delivered a title, or that the Nats made the playoffs after starting 19-31? Meanwhile there is no positive hype whatsoever about the Skins, they have to keep eliminating seats out of the stadium because games are never full anymore, even the games that do sell out are dominated by out-of-town fans (did anybody hear the Bears chants on Monday night before the game even started?) They were chanting on Monday Night Countdown. Fan support for the Skins has never been lower, meanwhile fan support for the Caps (and the Nats somewhat but not on the Caps level) is high every year. You really think Dan Snyder is not the type to be jealous about it?
