Interesting point. I for one certainly don't care if anything adds fuel to the fire of hatred for Dan Snyder. If journalists want to continue asserting inaccuracies such as the favorite "Dan Snyder is doing a crappy job because he's meddlesome", then they can go ahead for all I care. I don't care if it adds fuel to the fire and makes the media dislike Snyder more. Either the media does their jobs right, or they don't. If they don't do their jobs right, then I say piss off to them. I couldn't care less.

If that reflects poorly on the fan base, now that's something that I could care even less about. I'm interested in good objective journalism first and foremost. So if the middle finger I'm pointing at bad journalists reflects poorly on me as a fan, then let it. Maybe that's a concern to some, but I'm not one of them.

Snyder takes a lot of crap in the press without a doubt, some deserved and some not, but he would have been better served by taking the high road rather than stooping down to the media's often immature and uninformed level.

In the end, I guess I just don't care if Dan Snyder was the nice guy, or if Dan Snyder was a dick. I just care if he:
1) Tries his guts out to put a winning team on the field
2) Makes being a fan of the team more fun. And reading fluffy interviews with Coach Gibbs on ExtremeSkins is fun to me.
