Redskins' Dan Snyder Announces Creation of Foundation to Help Native Americans

[NC_Skins]

I think Dan's efforts are noble and should be recognized by the media. The one thing that Dan should have done though, is to have kept this low key. He shouldn't have even announced the foundation or wrote a letter. Dan isn't going to get the benefit of the doubt with the media after all the shit he's done during his tenure. So anything like this is going to be viewed as self-serving. Can you really blame the media after all that Dan has done the past decade? Not in the slightest. It is what it is, and it's never going to change for Dan in that regards. (not in near future anyways) Dan made his bed long ago, now he's going to have to sleep in it.

Right, and it's not like this was announced at a huge press conference on the steps of the National Museum of the American Indian or something. It was announced via a letter posted to the Skins website on a Monday evening in March, and then presented to the rest of the owners so that the foundation could get more support from them.
NC Skins, I totally agree that Snyder isn't going to get the benefit of the doubt from most people, especially his most vocal critics, but I think this was handled pretty well. Now hopefully the foundation actually follows through with its mission and does some good.
