Ahh, the beauty of the unverifiable assumption. You, of course, have proof that your belief is held by the "majority of Redskins' fans".

Further, what we are discussing is not a matter of pure opinion but rather a factual conclusion (Snyder is inordinately enamored of his players) based on actual verifiable facts (Snyder does things with certain players that other owners do not - have dinner with them, have conversations outside the chain of command about how the franchise should be run, etc.).

As to the underlying verifiable facts, a majority vote is simply irrelevant (Although a majority of uninformed idiots may say the sun is the center of the universe, it does not change the verifiable fact that it isn't). Further, majority opinons on factual conclusions that are based on faulty or non-existent verifiable facts are ignorant, irrelevant and unpersuasive. Similar to pure opinions without factual basis, belief in such factual conclusions without verifiable facts to support them is simply a bias or prejudice.

You are entitled to hold whatever bias or prejudice you choose to hold as to Snyder and to spout any garbage you so desire to justify your unverifiable beliefs. However, if you want to be perceived as anything other than an uninformed ignoramus shooting forth diarhea of the mouth for the sole purpose of spreading vitriol, specific verifiable facts and logical rhetorical progressions are necessary. These have been sadly lacking in your posts. Thus, the rest of us are left only with the conclusion that you are nothing better than a town idiot or corner prophet spouting the doom of mankind is nigh.

In short, yes - you are being ridiculous.

Whenever I hear people quickly blame Dan Snyder for anything wrong in Redskins land, I just want to point them to these posts that our very own SmootSmack had posted about a year ago.

Start with the first post from SS in this link and read the following posts as well. I think this page is an eye opening look into how Snyder is often demonized for no reason. Now don't get me wrong, I think Snyder shares plenty of blame when it comes to some of the negativity surrounding the team, but once one reads these posts, you'll see that a lot of the blame that is often hurled at Snyder is unwarranted.

For the most part, I think Dan is truly trying to do what is best for the team. Look at the things he's done that us 'skins fans had begged for. He got rid of Vinny Cerrato. He hired a GM. He has even hired a consultant to work with the GM in player personnel. He hired Joe Gibbs. He hired Mike Shanahan. Two Super Bowl winning coaches who were known for having disciplined winning teams under their direction. He's hired college coaches, coordinators, etc... He afforded the opportunity for this team to go out and get a franchise quarterback (which I realize the judgment is still out for that.) Most importantly, he's fought to keep the name of the team.

All in all, I think Dan has truly tried to do what he feels is the best interest for this team, but ultimately, what the fans want. It just hasn't worked out. Maybe he needs to do more? I don't know. But I just don't see how anybody can blame the current situation on Daniel Snyder - especially Daniel Snyder being a "meddlesome" owner.
