Snyder's petty enough to sue little old ladies over season tickets but he's not petty enough to be focused against his rival?

I've seen Snyder do some pretty petty things, like keep Norv Turner waiting for 3+ hours outside of his office before he brought him in to fire him, so to say that he isn't petty enough to not cavort with cowboys is not a stretch.

Dude, you keep making that same non-sequitur statement and keep calling it a fact.

The truth is that you can be friends with someone and still be "focused" in a rivalry situation against them. Sometimes the friendship even enhances the sense of rivalry.

I'll bet that everyone on this board at some time or another has competed in a focused way against a friend. It happens in fantasy football every week.

By the way, as long as people are talking about what is "petty," one could say that it is pretty "petty" to criticize Snyder for the company he keeps.

Lighten up on Snyder? That dude is charging you to park a car in a stadium! Most stadiums don't charge and those that do only charge a few bucks. Snyder charges you a small fortune. Snyder also tells you where you can park your car in his stadium. He also leaves about 50,000 open purple parking spaces every game; just so dumbasses like us have to park in a cash lot three miles away and shuttle it to the stadium. Has anyone had to do this before? You park in the cash lot and then wait 5--10 minutes for the shuttle to leave, then you sit in traffic for 15-30 minutes, and then you finally unload, and as you walk up to the stadium...................you see a SHIT LOAD OF EMPTY SPACES IN THE PURPLE LOT! THATS BULLSHIT!!! Making us park 3 miles away for no reason...................its just bullshit! It really is!

He keeps raising the prices of tickets too. A little bit more each year, just for fun probably. He sues his fanbase for not paying up during a Recession. He gives away more tickets to the visiting team then any other team in the NFL. And to top it off, he almost always puts a losing team on the field!!!!

And you're actually saying, "Lighten up????" Are you kidding me? He's not a football owner. He's a business man, who owns a football team. He's out there to get your money and that is all. He's not trying to build a succesful team. He's over here to run a business and a very profitable business at that. Once the Redskins went 10-6 under Gibbs 2.0 (Should have been 12-4, the refs screwed us in a couple of games) You remember what he did? He jacked up the ticket prices from $79 at face value to $109 at face value. He did that, because he knew we would buy it and he wanted more money.


Look, I can go on and on and I will if you want me too. But, you need to realize the facts. And the fact is that he runs the second most profitable football team in the NFL right now. That is what he does. He makes money. He doesn't build a winner. He hasn't in ten years and he won't ever. He will only continue to build a team to make money. That is what he has done and what he will continue to do. WAKE UP!

And I want a winner here once again! And until Danny quits making money and gives me one............I WILL NEVER LIGHTEN UP ON HIM. EVER!

This is a silly come back. Maybe people like going to the games. Maybe people enjoyed the Redskins PRE-Synder. Many of us have stopped going, turned in season tickets, and refuse to give the man anymore cash. Doesn't mean we are not fans, just means, we are showing our displeasure with a rather poor product.

Not True..............I was a season ticket holder last year. I didn't re-up this year, because Danny rose the prices yet again. I couldn't afford it no more. This time it was on the tailgate club tickets that I had. Yeah.................I could have said I don't want the tailgate club no more and then they would have said, "We'll move you back to the top. We'll call you when we have your seats picked out." Screw that!

But hey! I'm going to the Atlanta game this year! I'm not giving Danny my hard earned money no more. I'll be going to one away game a year now. That I can afford. And it will be fun. I'll be able to see other cities and experience other stadiums.................I can't wait!

Coincidentally that is what our discussion has been about so far Miller...it's funny you popped in to say that.

That's what we were just debating here...whether Snyder is making money, or making champions.

You have an interesting opinion that people on this thread will probably find logically critical, Miller.

Check out the complete first page of this thread though...it's done with a satrical vein so you probably missed something : )

What stadium (for an NFL or MLB) team doesn't charge for parking? And if you can park your car IN the stadium for free at any NFL game, you are FREAKING amazing.

Again, all the other crud aside, when the team was being sold there were only a few buyers that were even being looked at and in MY opinion Snyder was the best of the lot.

I will maintain my fandom to the Skins and applaud Snyder and the FO for the many moves that I see where he tries to make this team a winner, and forgive him for the mistakes he has made along the way. That is not just how I treat Snyder, but most of the people I have dealt with in my life, and how I hope to be treated by people who get to know me.

So how did they raise the ticket price then?

If you read that article, one of the comments mentions built-in escalators in ticket prices for club-level and other premium seats. I think Miller even mentioned his tickets were Tailgate Club or something like that.

I didn't realize how much Jerrah was charging for tickets down here, that's just batsh*t crazy. $700+ to watch a Cowboys game? Crazy Town.

Got it. Thanks for the clarification

[tootergray34]

I love DS, better have an owner that at least wants to win as opposed to somebody who doesn't really care about the team. You all know that he hates to lose as much as we do. That was a really good story though.

[over the mountain]

I want to win real real bad to. doesnt mean i know how to run an nfl franchise, doesnt mean the DS knows how to run an nfl franchise either.
