Wow tell us how you really feel about Dan Synder.
We may not like the way he runs the Redskins but this may be a little to much from intelligent fans.

Of course I don't really wish death upon him. That was pretty much a metaphor for how screwed we are. Our problem is the owner -- who's unwilling to change -- and, since he'll never sell the team, we're f*cked until he dies. Prepare yourself for at least another 30 years of garbage.

My animosity towards Snyder is two-fold:

1.) I know Snyder "bought" the team, but IMO he doesn't "own" it -- he just gets to collect the profits. He has no right to do what he's done, which is destroy OUR team -- one of the oldest franchises in NFL history. I equate it to somebody buying the Statue of Liberty and dismantling it.

2.) Humility is kind of a big deal to me, and Dan Snyder has none. I have no respect for people like him, and very little tolerance. No humble person would ignore the opinions of experts for 10 years unless they thought they knew better. Snyder obviously thinks he knows more than the experts, which is to say that Snyder thinks he knows more about football than everyone. There isn't a SINGLE person in football who understands our situation and would support the decisions Snyder has made. Yet, Snyder hasn't changed his attitude -- he just changed the facade and thinks we're stupid enough to be fooled by it.

This post is spot on. Snyder is the current steward of the franchise and as such, can reap the profits, but he doesn't truly OWN the team. The team belongs to the tens of thousands of Redskins fans out there. Past, present, and future.

We can only hope that something happens, on the field or in his life, that finally opens his eyes to reality.

What do you mean "or in his life"?

Nothing bad, if that's what your implying, but some sort of epiphany that lifts him out of the mire so he can see the truth. I think that can only come from people inside his trusted circle; family, clergy, hero [Gibbs]. Whatever.

Another poster posed the question, maybe Dan isn't as bad as he seems? Maybe he's just misunderstood?

Possibly. If that's the case, he needs to state his position publicly. He refuses to do so, claiming that no matter what he says, he's misunderstood and pilloried in the media. Well, maybe he should prepare for such an annoucement before spreading the word. Being secretive only exacerbates the problem.

Here's my position. Somebody has to be held accountable. It happens for us regular schlubs all the time. Why should the Redskins be any different. I suspect, like many, that it isn't just one thing [QB, coach, etc.], but a multitude of things. More reason for the owner to explain how things got the way they are and a general plan of how to rebuild this team.
