You want to look at an owner that makes horrible decisions that directly affect the team? Take a look at the Maloof brothers in Sacramento.

Snyder has made terrible football decisions that have affected this team. But as I said, I don't really see this particular issue with him suing the paper as a football decision that is affecting the Redskins.

Therein lies the rub for many of those who are so quick to target Snyder for suing the City Paper. While it is true that some would blame him for a cold, rainy day at FedEx, the connection between his management style as an owner and the product on the field over the last decade is largely undisputed even among the level-headed. As such, some might see reflected in his decision to sue the City Paper the same rashness and brashness that has accompanied the decisions he's made for the team.

While I agree that the outcome of this particular suit will not affect the team, one could only be surprised by the response on this board and elsewhere to his lawsuit and his public relations effort to defend it if one believes that it is simply not possible to draw any similarity whatsoever between the decision-making style he's exhibited as an owner with his decision to bring this suit.
