Question for those who would know personally, is the devil caricature anti-semitic or just offensive?

None of this will do anything to salvage the reputation of an owner that has been consistently vilified since assuming ownership of the Redskins. I agree with Mooby, the only winner here is whomever stands to benefit from any litigated compensation in the event there is a damage award ruling favoring the owner. The results won't do much to sway the overwhelmingly negative opinion shared by so many in the Redskin community, if anything, it may only serve to magnify the negativity.

my mom doesnt have jewish blood, she converted when she married my step dad, i went to hebrew school and sunday school, was bar mitzah'd on mt. messiah in israel.

If the article's subject matter was related to DS being jewish, then yes I would agree the horn thing would be an offensive reference to the history of jewish people being depicted as having horns but . . .

this article didnt mention his faith, it was about his past actions as owner of the skins which gives context to the devil horns, unibrow, goatee etc. IMO

what i find not offensive but unfortunate is DS's decision to use the bigotry card and solicit a condemnation from (forget the name) some jewish center in dc. he is probably a member there, donates money etc.

$78 million dollar QB? Who's that? (Yes, I understand he's using a bit of poet "creativity".)

So, this is the ultimate plan to run Daniel Snyder out of town? Careful, he might consider moving the Redskins with him.

Wow, if Danny Boy got his panties in a bunch over the prior article, he'll blow his frickin' stack when he sees this one lol

This one is pretty clever, it's like the writer wanted to dis Snyder w/out actually getting into any details about the City mag. article or any specifics (other than the liberal use of '$78 mill qb'). From an NFC east team's perspective, it's sadly pretty accurate.

The article which provoked the lawsuit is three months old. If he had to act, why did Snyder wait so long to do so?

I have trouble understanding how Snyder does not see that the no-comment high road would be the best road, especially since he's had three months to think it over. But now the can of worms has been opened.

I am not a great Snyder fan but I feel sorry for the way that his personal business will be put on public display in the coming months. Not too sorry, though, since he is, in a way, asking for it.

Pretty harsh but fair.

When will Dan Snyder learn? THIS!
"I know you are taking some criticism today from carping media types. They seem to think that you are not only behaving like a petty, vindictive bully but also that you are being strategically stupid - by bringing a vast new audience to a three-month-old, otherwise-obscure alternative-media piece, which can be found here."

Seriously, a university could run an entire course on Dan Snyder and how NOT to run your sports franchise and handle the press. It is clear Dan does not always learn from his mistakes. COME ON DAN! Figure it out!

Whaaaa! Somebody said something bad about me! What a baby...

Snyder wouldn't have pushed anything on Gibbs, he has way too much respect for him to do that.

Gibbs wanted Saunders in here because he felt he was taking on too much of a workload and he didn't want to go down that path again, plus Gibbs felt his offense was dated and needed to be "modernized".

That's what I heard at the time too. Even if it was Snyder's doing I wouldn't mind it, Saunders was the premier coordinator in the league. To me it's really a non-issue either way.

But while we're here, John Feinstein's view on the matter:

Feinstein's never had much good to say about the danny, but he backs up his work for the most part w/solid info. This is pretty harsh, he's basically saying Snyder is a bad person & always has been. This article is more personal than the City mag one - maybe danny will sue Feinstein too!

If Feinstein should be worried, company is mounting.

Box Seats - Dan Snyder is a jackwagon (please don't sue me)
