Snyder's "apology"

[Rodskin]

I Can't beleive that people think that this guy doesnt want to win. nothings more profitable than a winning franchise.

He gave up the bulk of control, no owner will give up all control, you just don't like who he gave it up to (I don't blame you).

I think he does want to win, but got to disagree with your last part of the statement. Snyder has kept the Redskins at the top of all NFL franchises since he's been there in terms of value, despite a subpar record over the last ten years. Why aren't the Giants or Eagles more valuable then?

The Giants are not that valuable because New York is a baseball town. The Iggles....well I dunno. And winning is profitable, since the Pats have been up there in the profit top 5 during their winning steak (even though Boston is a baseball town first and basketball town second).

Nope, the Giants Igglets and other don't own their own stadium like the SKins(Thanks to JKC)...the Giants will solve that next year,also the Giants don't over sell the team like Snyder does.

What do you mean by overselling? Also, wouldn't you say that having to share NY with many professional sports team (that people actually follow) affect the Giants' ability to make as much profit as other teams?

As for the over selling(marketing)...someone else said it better then I can...."Snyder sells the Skins as If they were the New Kids on the Block.."
As for the Giants "sharing" the NY area ....my answer would be no, there is enough of a populous in the tri state area to go around and they like the Skins have a major wait list for seats,or did before PSL's.

I would tend to agree with that but conversely I guess you could say that losing is not profitable.

What Snyder has done with offseason free agent frenzys of players AND coaches is make a losing franchise profitable. New season tickets are sold and locked up during these spring and summer months when the Skins are making big splashes...great from a marketing perspective.

Within the last 2-3 months the Redskins were listed as the highest revenued NFL team pulling in $345 million dollars on the year.


Now ask yourself...Does Dan Snyder want to win?

...in the illustrious words of Dan Snyder himself: "If it ain't broke don't fix it"
