Don Banks: Redskins Hater and Racist

Because we made the largest offseason splash and drew tons of attention to ourselves. That's why.

Any "expert" worth 2 cents should have seen right through the "splash". Sure, Redskin fans would get caught up in it. Anyone else that did, and writes articles as an "expert" is simply an idiot. Teams should be assessed on reasonable conclusions drawn from facts. Not on publicity.

But, my friends, it ain't over 'til it's over. And that's a LONG ways away. Sure, I'm an optomist, but it would sure be nice to be among those laughing last!! There have been many teams that looked HORRIBLE at some point during the season, got a couple gift wins, then turned it around and made the playoffs. So far, instead of a gift win, we had a win stolen from us. Even so, if that offense DOES get it together (real) soon, we could be in the hunt. Playoffs would be nice. Even a winning record this year would be sweet. Of course these same clowns will be acting like they knew it all along. That's just the way they play the game.

racist? no...
but he's def. right about the 'skins as much as it pains me...
DAMMIT we need to do something to shut these haters up!

Greetings from Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

This is not a racist commentary by a mile.

The comment about Snyder is on target. From the day he took over until now, make a list of the franchise "highlights/accomplishments" and a separate list of their "lowlights/embarrassments".

Which list is longer? If you say they are anywhere near the same length, then you must be including things like getting the PG County police to enforce the parking lot/walking route ban as a franchise highlight. Facts is facts; so far Snyder has been lots of PR and lots of glitzy/showy stunts and really short on results. The Skins had the #5 pick in the draft the year he got the team; the Skins had the #5 pick in the draft last year after he has owned the franchise for a while. That's not a lot of improvement. And unless I was in a coma, there weren't any Conference Championships or Super Bowl wins in the interim...

Think about whether you are angry because of the shot taken at the Redskins' owner or whether you are angry because you bought into the PR and the glitz and don't like to see people pointing out just how hollow all that nonsense really was.

Curmudgeon, are you on some sort of Canadian cross-country tour?

The problem I had with the Snyder comment, and maybe I just interpreted it wrong, was that it seemed like an unecessary stab at DS, as if to say he is responsible for the 1-3 start. He's the one with the fumbles, the poor clock management, the questionable reviews. I don't think it was a necessary sentence at all

Okay okay, wow - I wrote this post yesterday and didn't see the overwhelming opposing opinion on today. I'm swayed - not a racist comment!

DR,

I usually like your posts - but I think you are off base with this one. He was referencing the fact that Ricky's been hanging out with and mooching off of Lennie Kravitz, and that Ricky's not a singer/dancer but a football player.



Fair enough - I didn't make that connection, but now that you point it out, I see your point.
