Danny Snyder Forces The Washington Post to Rename “Redskins Insider” to “Football Insider”

I see no problem with that piece to be honest with you, and really don't care as long as it's not negative. Cool, so "Dan" wants to make people think he's just one of the boys out having a beer with the cohorts. All good, no hating here. Do I think it's a PR move? Probably not, but I do think this part was included for a specific reason.

I said it was good to meet you, Mr. Snyder. “Dan,’’ he said.

Not sure I'm reading this right, but are you saying the good he's done has outweighed the bad in terms of "what kind of person" he is? If so, that statement is laughable. There is no way in hell this guy has done enough good to atone for the bad he's done. So what he gives to charity, that's tax deductible and benefits him just as much as it does the recipients. Let me know when you see Dan volunteering his time at the local homeless shelter, food bank, or other various public needs.


That said, what really matters in the end is that he stays clear the **** away from the football side of things. If Dan wants to be a douchebag and overcharge you guys out the ass, then fine by me. If Dan wants to make it so you can't walk onto the premises and have to pay his exuberant parking fees, fine by me. I dont' even care if he raises the beer costs to $25 a cup or $15 for a hot dog. That stuff doesn't matter to me. What does matter is that he stays away from football operations, and how he represents this organization.

Like it or not, Dan Snyder IS the Washington Redskins. When the Redskins are trashed and viewed as dysfunctional, it's all because it starts at the top.
