I don't think you'd hear the people crying about Snyder if it wasn't for him being in the news. I know I surely haven't started any threads bashing Dan. Nope, I only have to wait till he does something profoundly stupid and let one of you guys bring it up. Get rid of one, and the other will go away. That much I can assure you.

Thats simular to saying:

I dont know whos worse; Kim Jong il or the UN for sanctioning him everytime he does something retarded.

You dont hear us crying (or the UN sanctioning) when Snyder (or Kim Jong il) doesnt act like a child. All Snyder has to do is stop.

Well then someone tell me how this directly affects the Redskins? How does Dan Snyder suing the Washington City Paper directly affects the football operations of the Washington Redskins?

Will it affect the draft?
Free agency?
Training camp?
How the team performs during the season?

I think Dan Snyder has given Redskins fans and Redskins ticket holders a lot to complain about, and rightfully so. But as I said, I don't think this directly has to do with the Redskins.

Do I agree with what he is doing? Not really. Do I need to rant about it like it is affecting me directly? Nope. Is this going to affect the way the Redskins play? And no.

It can affect the team as it relates to other potential business partners and UFA that might say 'I will not work for (or with) a guy that makes such poor personal decisions.'
Snyder is coming off as an owner who isn't confident enough in himself and his image to let something as minor as this go and slip into nobody cares-ville where it would be if ego maniac himself would stop bringing it into national media spot light. His ego is a huge balloon.

Well, whether you like to admit it or not, Daniel Snyder is the Redskins and the Redskins is Daniel Sndyer. They are one in the same even though the actions done by one doesn't directly relate to the other.

When the franchise suffers as much as it's have, you have only one place to look at. The top. Quite simply, we've been through different GMs, coaches, players, systems, and the one thing that's constant this whole time has been the owner. That would narrow the problem down to being with the owner and the decisions he's making. You can't think positive about your club when the man in charge is making horrible decisions on the side. They are indirectly related whether you see it or not.

It's not like Dan Snyder has this switch that goes ON- I'll be a complete twit in public and other businesses OFF- I'll be the best owner in the NFL. I think this has been shown over the course of his tenure with the Skins. Chances are, if he's making horrible decisions in in public relations and other businesses, then there is a huge chance he's making horrible decisions with the Skins as well.

That's why they are one and the same.

Tony Kornheiser not known for being critical of Snyder has finally weighed in on this particular situation. [Q] “It seems to me spiteful and vengeful, because it’s not gonna accomplish the goal. I don’t see the principle here, other than the principle of bullying, and I think it’s a shame for the team. I think it’s a shame that a steward of a team that -- while he owns the team, the city feels it has a stake in it -- that it’s getting involved in a suit like this.” [U]

As long as he continues to make news people are going to continue to talk about him. Just like we do what we do, he does what he does.....make news

[SirClintonPortis]

Bad organizational leaders create a culture in which the organization suffers greatly. What he does as boss directly affects the Redskins. He's a bitch and does all the shit that researchers would strongly advise a boss to NOT do if he cares about his organization.

Absolutely true, and I will complain about Snyder then next time he makes a bad decision that directly affects the Redskins as a football team.

I think most players realize some bogus/exaggerated stories shouldn't and don't have an effect on them signing with the Redskins. I mean guys like Mike Sellers, Fred Smoot and Derrick Dockery even came back to the team after being allowed to walk

You keep saying that his actions are not Redskins related it doesn't affect them. So you think Snyder can make all these horrible decisions outside of Redskins Park, and yet he'll somehow manage to only do good decisions within the Park? For how long though? That's the beef most of us have. We know sooner or later Mr. Hyde is going to show up.

I think his decisions outside of football show you exactly his thought process is in making decisions with the football organization as well. Sure Mike and Bruce run things now, but who's to say that Danny boy and his insecure, impatient self doesn't change that? Judging by his actions in other businesses and the public relations, do you trust this guy?...lol

Most NFL players get suspended, and fined for actions that are committed off the field that are irrelevant for their on the field productivity. According to you, those actions shouldn't matter so why do they? It's because of what it reflects.


I think you see where I'm going with this. Your actions show you the type of person you are, and the type of decisions you'll most likely be making in the future. Snyder continues to show us he makes horrible decision after horrible decision. How long do you thing he's going to give Shanny before he cuts in?

Also, it's funny how he went from claiming the whole suit was brought because it was an attack on his wife, with cancer, and his jewish heritage. It seems now with his new letter, that those reasons have changed. No, the real reason hasn't changed, and that reason is because Dan Snyder is a self absorbed asshole that doesn't get it, and probably never will regardless of how many people he pays to tell him.

It's only a matter of time before Dumbass Dan (outside of Redskins business) starts reverting back to his old ways. You know and I know it. Why do we know it? Because of how he's acting now regardless if it's Redskins related or not.

Like I said many times over. I'd rather be talking about the draft and football related stuff then have to converse over our dumbass owner. I think we can all agree on this.


edit: Agree with Smoot. I don't think it really matters to players. My guess is most care about the money to begin with.

For a guy that doesn't like to talk about Snyder you sure say a lot.

As I said, in the end this has nothing to do with the team and I hope the team doesn't revert back to the days when Snyder made bad decisions and/or hired bad decision makers.

Don't want me to talk about Snyder, then don't start a thread about him. I assure you I won't be starting one just to talk about him. No, I'm having to explain to people who keep saying "it doesn't matter because it has nothing to do with the Redskins". Most of us see the bigger picture in all of this.

In the end, it's clear indication that Snyder is still Snyder. So how long till Snyder goes back to destroying the Redskins even more?

I guess the answer to my question is: Nothing.
