Snyder Camp Upset!!

There are definitely a few misleading and out of context things, but i dont think any of the items could be characterized as "not true". And theres not lot of these misleading things by any means, its a few things with all the major stuff cited.

Plus the "article" is meant to be clever; its called "The Cranky Redskins Fan's Guide to Dan Snyder From A to Z (for Zorn)”. Its not a detailed account of mishaps Synder is involved in, it’s a summary of mishaps he’s involved in written with an obvious anti-Snyder sentiment. The writer isnt basing his opinion of Synder though misleading accounts, but rather piling on or furthering his case through a few speculations or out of context and misleading examples, which is okay in my opinion based on his established underlying tone.

I'll agree with you, there is also the question of where this article was placed. What I'm referring to is I thought the WP had an "Opinion" section that may come out on Sundays. Clearly this is a biased opinionated article which would be perfect for that section and readers. If the editors had it placed in the everyday "Sports" section would be wrong.

I'm just guessing it was in the "Sports" section and the thought was to stir the pot and get more readers and again I'll say bad judgement on the editors.

Winning fixes everything. If the team is winning, the fans are happy, the players are happy, and the owner is happy. I can care less about how he treats fans, because that is not a priority to me. I'd rather he work on the team itself and get that fixed first. Then we can see how horribly wrong Snyder is to the fans.

Winning is the priority but any business owner should care about their customers.

The article was in the City Paper not the WP.

I am glad someone authored this article, in fact, I was going to do it if it had not been posted.

The article opened my eyes to the real Daniel Snyder, not the Dan the fan Snyder who claims he just wants to win. It all seems to be motivated by pinching every nickel out the fans and not what some claim that "Dan Loves The Redskins" and would do anything to win.

I believe he does want to win but on the other hand, he wants every penny he can get out of this franchise through questionable marketing strategies. No previous owner of this franchise was so obvious as a barker-like flimflam man - do whatever it takes to turn a buck, no matter who it hurts.

At least that's the perception shared by many, including me.

But the article in the WP linked the story.

Ostracizing the alumni who could be guiding some of our guys is a fine example of building a good team. /sarcasm. Pat Burns helped Carey Price this year with a few choice words, yet Snyder would have NONE of such mentoring.

We have an owner who thinks he knows what he is doing but hardly does. Success in one industry doesn't translate to success in another. Clearly Snyder make money, imagine how much more money the Skins could make if they won? Truth is no matter what Snyder does the Skins will always make money because of the market they are in. That is to say Snyder's marketing genius is overrated. I for one look forward to the day Snyder no longer owns the team. What a petty little man.

Winning is the priority but any business owner should care about their customers.

Put a winning product on the field, and that's caring enough.

He should have just let it go,"perception" is reality and like it or not the "perception of Dan Snyder is as a Jerrah Jones wanna be that keeps screwing it up.
Look I will be the first to admit the Danny doesn't get the credit he deserve for the good things he does ....such as ...everything to do with the Sean Taylor situation..ect.Any criticism I have thrown his way has been strickly football related.
