Lighten Up On Snyder

stay home. no one says you have to go over to fed ex and give him your money.

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.

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. ...

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.

For every Washingtonian puff piece, I can find several articles about what a twerp Snyder is. If you're cool with $30 to park at FedEx Field and high ticket prices for a poor product, that's your business. I'm not cool with it. Diff'rent strokes and all.


amen! preach on brother spence!

I can see how some skins fans could think the DS is not a bad owner, but i have a hard time understanding the logic of any skins fan saying the DS is a good owner.

go skins!!

They haven't been raised in a few years.

Redskins Hold Line On Ticket Prices For Third Straight Season (http://www.redskins.com/gen/articles/Redskins_Hold_Line_On_Ticket_Prices_For_Third_Stra ight_Season_31075.jsp)

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!

Redskins don’t raise ticket prices - Washington Business Journal: (http://washington.bizjournals.com/washington/stories/2009/09/07/daily51.html)

So how did they raise the ticket price then?

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.

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.

Were Peter Angelos and Dan Snyder Separated at Birth? | Bleacher Report (http://bleacherreport.com/articles/212836-were-peter-angelos-and-dan-snyder-separated-at-birth)

lol this is just from the past month or so . . . . i think i could reach the end of the internet before i reached the end of articles writing about how much the DS sucks.

Holly Cow. LOL. I honestly thought this whole blog was about Skinny Tee faining support for DS just to ....as a joke.... get someone who actually does support DS to come forth and be recognized and ....as a joke... pretend to be pointing him out as a traitor to the rest of us.

^That might not make sense sorry. Just trying to show how slow I am which I guess isn't a good thing.

So Skinny Tee, who can DS be friends with? I guess anyone in the division is off limits? So would Arizona be ok? Not trying to pick on anyone but all the owners are friendly towards each other. They all have a common goal....which is to make their team thrive and if something is working for one owner then you bet they will be talking to see if it would work for them. To the owners it's all business. Business men hang out together...especially ones in the same type of business.

Plus they all have to get a long in order to support each others issues in regards to the CAP. I mean it's not an owners union for nothing. Then theres the players union. and low and behold a REF's union. and comming to a town near you a coach's union. ;)

The fact was my original statement over Snyder and Jones being close friends...

I simply said that it irked me that he pals around with his biggest rival and he's gets along too well with Jones for a guy who has been coming up short in their competitive rivarly.


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.

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.
